THOMAS was the first online database of United States Congress legislative information. A project of the Library of Congress, it was launched in January 1995 at the inception of the 104th Congress and retired in September 2014; it has been superseded by Congress.gov. ==Contents== The resource was a comprehensive, Internet-accessible source of information on the activities of Congress, including: *bills and resolutions * *texts * *summaries and status * *voting results, including how individual members voted *Congressional Record, including the daily digest *presidential nominations *treaties The database was named after Thomas Jefferson, who was the third President of the United States. According to some sources, "THOMAS" is an acronym for "The House (Representatives ) Open Multimedia Access System", but this text was not apparent anywhere on its site; this explanation might be a backronym. The website allowed users to share legislative information via several social networking sites, and there were proposals for an application programming interface. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「THOMAS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
