DE-BIAS: Vokabular – Deutsch

This vocabulary was developed as part of the EU-funded project DE-BIAS - Detecting and cur(at)ing harmful language in cultural heritage collections (2023/2024) and is used by the DE-BIAS tool for detecting bias in metadata. It consists of contentious terms in German language accompanied by contextual descriptions, suggestions for reflection and alternative wording, and the reference to the sources. Focusing primarily on migration and colonial history, gender and sexual identity, and ethnicity and ethno-religious identity, it was developed with community input and extensive research. 

The project has also created vocabularies for English, Dutch, Italian and French.
