  abstract = {{S}oil invertebrates are known to be much involved in soil behaviour and therefore in the provision of ecosystem services. {F}unctional trait-based approaches are methodologies which can be used to understand soil invertebrates' responses to their environment. {T}hey (i) improve the predictions and (ii) are less dependent on space and time. {T}he way traits have been used recently has led to misunderstandings in the integration and interpretation of data. {T}rait semantics are especially concerned. {T}he aim of this paper is to propose a thesaurus for soil invertebrate trait-based approaches. {T}-{SITA}, an {I}nternet platform, is the first initiative to deal with the semantics of traits and ecological preferences for soil invertebrates. {I}t reflects the agreement of a scientific expert community to fix semantic properties (e. g. definition) of approximately 100 traits and ecological preferences. {I}n addition, {T}-{SITA} has been successfully linked with a fully operational database of soil invertebrate traits. {S}uch a link enhances data integration and improves the scientific integrity of data.},
