ISKO UK Meetup - Basic Steps in the Creation of a Structured Vocabulary by Leonard Will

When creating a structured vocabulary, in addition to the technical and intellectual considerations about defining concepts and their relationships, there are management aspects that have to be resolved. Why do you think that a structured vocabulary is needed? What resources will it give access to? Who will use it, at the input and output stages? What kind of structure will be appropriate? What software will it use? Who will maintain it? These matters are dealt with in clause 13 of the international standard ISO 25964-1:2011, which this talk will summarise to encourage participants to answer these questions for themselves.

After doing physics research, Leonard Will ran information and research services at City University Library and the Science Museum, London. After several years as a consultant, he is now retired.
