CESSDA Vocabulary Service – For managing vocabulary content

As a result of strong collaboration between CESSDA and the DDI Alliance, the CESSDA Vocabulary Service (CVS) was launched this year. The CVS allows searching, browsing and downloading controlled vocabularies in a variety of languages. The CVS is a useful and timely resource that promotes international standardisation by providing a source of controlled vocabularies to suit varied metadata systems.

This presentation demonstrates how users can browse, create, edit and translate controlled vocabularies in the CVS. In addition, we will discuss how the tool manages user access, version control and enables the management of organisation-specific vocabularies as well.
