OCLC Terminologies Services Pilot
OCLC is exploring a service that provides access to multiple controlled vocabularies for libraries, museums, and archives to create consistent metadata for their collections.
Selected mappings between vocabularies are provided to assist in relating terminology.
The service would provide one-stop access to terminology resources and would be accessible through any web-based metadata editor.
