Description

Elastic search has a capability to set up synonyms for search terms and use them to generate matches

Setting up synonyms in elastic search seems a manual activity. Is it an option to develop functionality to load skos thesauri into the Elastic synonyms configuration?

@kuleuven is currently researching a tool which uses synonyms matching to INSPIRE data model terms (iso19110) and used the inspire datamodels itself to derive synonyms in combination with https://inspire.ec.europa.eu/featureconcept. They find that it is a good fit for the case (issue created during [elise webinar on synonyms](https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/elise-european-location-interoperability-solutions-e-government/event/elise-webinar-using-synonyms-improve-discovery-geospatial-data))
