SCENT for GLAM: a tool for giving meaning to professional controlled vocabularies

This paper discusses SCENT for GLAM, which stands for Semantic and Collaborative Environment for a Network of Terminology for Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums. SCENT for GLAM offers a number of features that allow an institution to create or import terminology, to convert it into SKOS format, to edit it, make alignments with other terminologies from the same institution or another one and finally publish and share this terminology and alignments. The idea is to provide a repository of terminologies that will include all of the cultural sector concepts.
