We cordially invite you to the launch of the publication "FAIR vocabularies and authority files for museums and collections", developed by a sub-working group of the NFDI4Culture Minimum Record Working Group in collaboration with other stakeholders.
The document will be presented in German language by working group members Anja Gerber (KSW | NFDI4Objects) and Dr. Domenic Schäfer (VZG | NFDI4Culture, LIDO Agency). The presentation will focus on the central role of controlled vocabularies and standardised data in enabling the sustainable reuse of data describing objects in museums and collections.
A compilation of relevant vocabularies for collection documentation was developed based on the Minimum Record Recommendation for museums and collections. The following Topics are presented, among other things:
- the content focus of the respective vocabularies;
- their technical implementation status;
- an evaluation according to the FAIR principles.
Classifying the vocabularies according to FAIR principles enables a well-founded assessment of their sustainability and reusability, particularly in the context of publishing and effective research data management.
