Meeting title: IG Vocabulary Services: Vocabulary Governance
Please give a short introduction describing the activities and the scope of the group
The Vocabulary Services Interest Group (VSIG) was established to develop community-based recommendations on the publication of controlled vocabularies on the web. The primary deliverables will be a collection of community use cases and requirements for vocabulary services, documentation of existing services and practices, and recommendations for vocabulary publication service structure and APIs.
VSIG is beginning to document concerns, practices, and proposals for governance of vocabulary content and services. This session will present different models for vocabulary governance as seen in practice, the roles and relationships within these models, and discuss how VSIG use cases map into these models. VSIG seeks to identify important components involved in governance for developing a set of criteria for guiding the evaluation of these models.
This session is intended as a discussion driving towards developing a set of recommendations surrounding vocabulary governance.
