The SG-OBIS-8 recommended that a small, temporary project team should be formed to begin populating a vocabulary/ontology clearinghouse/hub for applicable vocabularies that are needed or are being used in OBIS today. Also members outside the OBIS Steering Group are welcome to join.
The OBIS Vocabulary Infrastructure Project Team (VIPT) has the following Terms of Reference:
Terms of Reference of the OBIS-VIPT
- Conduct its work within the context of the existing vocabulary-related activities of the Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG) group.
- Produce guidelines for mapping the most commonly used Measurement or Fact terms in OBIS with the preferred BODC vocab.
- Propose a way forward to develop a mechanism or governance strategy to coordinate and build community consensus with regards to vocab mapping and priority setting of creating new vocab terms, including training.
