COAR Controlled Vocabularies: Improving consistency of repository metadata | Agricultural Information Management Standards (AIMS)

"Controlled Vocabularies are one of the semantic glues that binds open access repositories and scholarly communication infrastructures together. They offer great benefit to the community, because they ensure interoperability between repositories and repository content, and facilitate greater discovery, tracking and re-use of research materials.

Faced with recurring issues in repository metadata the workshop discussed the need of an agreed set of controlled vocabularies in bibliographic metadata."
