CVS Agency creation guidelines
Service Description and Main features
The CESSDA Vocabulary Service enables communities and organisations to create, manage and publish their own vocabularies, thus enhancing data interoperability by enabling users to search and download controlled vocabularies. The CESSDA Vocabulary Service provides a discovery interface where vocabularies can be searched, browsed, and downloaded, and an editing interface where vocabularies are managed, translated, and versioned using persistent identifiers and citations.
Community Response
Smaller organisations may face technical and resource constraints when hosting and managing their own vocabularies. The CESSDA Vocabulary Service alleviates these challenges by providing a reliable and user-friendly platform to host and manage vocabularies, making it easier for organisations to share and exchange their controlled vocabularies with others.
Licences and Agreement
To use the CESSDA Vocabulary Service to create, manage and publish their own CVs, an organisation must notify CESSDA ERIC by using the online form below, and agree to comply with the Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, and Service Level Agreement provided by CESSDA.
