Sartori's dream

Giovanni Sartori urged political scientists to take their vocabulary more seriously in order to build on one another’s ideas.  His key idea was that we identify and compare concepts (ideas) that are in the same semantic field, a map of related concepts.  In order to facilitate such mapping, one needs to start with a repository of concepts from the various datasets, glossaries, and indexes in the social sciences. Hence this platform.
