This paper focuses on the challenges experienced by the Academy of Athens team in implementing the BBT (BackBone Thesaurus) during the compilation of Dyas Humanities Thesaurus. The paper reviews issues in classifying terms in BBT with spatiotemporal attributes, suggests improvements in the facets and hierarchies definitions and detects areas that are not covered by the BBT facets developed so far.
