Simon Cox (Researcher @ CSIRO) and I presented on outcomes of the CSIRO Summer of Vocabularies. This project focused on: - Examining the state of the management of various controlled vocabularies and developing reusable processes to clean & standardise those vocabularies. - Developing standards & technologies for vocabulary management, curation & visualisation. We presented on these Summer of Vocabularies activities and how they are being used now to further the work of the Vocram project and the improvement and development of ANDS vocabulary services.

CSIRO needs science vocabularies to support their research, to provide categorical values within datasets, and to index datasets Current collection of vocabularies is varied; different formats & locations; different maintenance regimes; often not published openly ● Standardising formats & locations of vocabularies ● Creating a reusable process to standardise & store future vocabularies ● Developing features to improve current vocabulary tools why?
