EUN demonstrates online service to harmonise thesauri Author: EUN News
During the last international meeting of learning technology standardisation experts in Paris on June 16-17 2005, organised by CEN/ISSS WSLT Frans Van Assche demonstrated an EUN developed online service facilitating the harmonisation of vocabularies including value lists, glossaries, dictionaries, thesauri, classifications and ontologies.
The harmonization of vocabularies is an essential part in EUN’s efforts to improve the practice of exchanging learning resources. This service is funded by DG Enterprise (European Commission) as part of work done in the context of the CEN/ISSS Workshop on Learning Technologies.
The services allow to describe vocabularies and their terms, import a vocabulary in XML, export a vocabulary in XML, and describe mappings between vocabularies.
