The Confederation of Open Access Repositories (COAR) has announced a webinar on the topic of 'Controlled Vocabularies'.
The webinar is initiated by COAR Controlled Vocabularies Interest Group (CVIG). CVIG is planning series of webinars to provide training and raising awareness on controlled vocabularies. The sessions will target the broader repository and research information infrastructure community as well as COAR member institutions. Considering the varying degrees of knowledge and experience on the topic, the webinars will attempt to address both general, introductory level of issues and the cutting edge topics. CVIG aims to invite speakers from the institutions which have background and use cases of controlled vocabularies in research or cultural information ecosystems and experience in implementing controlled vocabularies in digital library projects.
The first of these webinars is scheduled on October 4 to explain the motivation and the benefits of COAR Controlled Vocabularies and ways to use them. The speakers, Jochen Schirrwagen, Software Engineer, Bielefeld University Library, and Dr. Timo Borst, Head of Department Innovative Information Systems and Publishing Technologies, Leibniz Information Center for Economics, will cover a brief introduction to the proposed topics, an overview of ongoing work of the COAR CVIG and the general basic considerations about controlled vocabularies will be addressed.
The webinar will be openly available on October 4th at 3pm CEST.
