Background and open issues

At the Vocabulary Management Session, the most critical issues identified in the ending summary were:

The need for collaborative space and leadership to build best practices documentation for building, maintaining, versioning and sharing vocabularies and mappings

Exploration and documentation of issues with mapping and alignment, leading to best practices

Development and sharing of governance policies

Building documentation and support for vocabulary discovery and criteria for selection (including quality criteria)

Provision of guidance for new practitioners

Volunteers to work on some of these issues and assist with discussion around them on the list are particularly needed. Please contact the interim moderate at the contact address above.
