It is in the interests of all lawyers engaged in the scholarly and practice-oriented world of international sales law to achieve the uniform application of the law's uniform words. The architecture must be built for the framework that will form the pillars of international sales law, enabling it to stand autonomously in light of domestic notions that have the potential to threaten its foundations. The International Sales Law Thesaurus is an idea whose time has come. It will provide the structural backbone for the consistent indexing and retrieval of sales law materials, thus paving a road for the global conceptualization of the law itself.
