Creating vocabulary

There are two ways to create a vocabulary in Vocabs editor:

1. Import existing skos vocabulary in RDF/XML or TTL format.

Choose ‘Upload SKOS vocabulary’ on the main page.
Since SKOS standard allows preferred label in many languages it is mandatory to specify the main language of vocabulary. When vocabulary is imported it will be displayed in a specified language.

2. Create a vocabulary from scratch in Vocabs editor.

Choose ‘Create Concept Scheme’ on the main page.
Start creating a vocabulary by filling out metadata about it.
If vocabulary is multilingual, it is possible to add additional Title, Description, Source and specify their language.
When Concept Scheme created, start adding Collections and / or Concepts.

Editing vocabulary

All vocabulary elements can be edited and deleted at any time.
Change history for each vocabulary element is available on the element’s page under ‘Change history’. Moreover, if the element was wrongfully deleted it can be recovered in an admin interface.
Each vocabulary can be exported in RDF/XML and TTL formats as well as every single Concept and Collection.
