This is a PROTOTYPE Semantic Wiki intended for the evaluation by the Vocabulary Management Task Group (VoMaG). See also the description of terms at the Species-ID Wiki. An overview of the KOS tools is available at http://kos.gbif.org . The terminology wiki is under consideration for collaborative development, public discussion, and as a service for discovery of biodiversity terminology. The wiki approach is based on voluntarily contributions to maintain the term descriptions. The approval of user accounts to this wiki is moderated - please request a user account if your are willing to contribute! Each term is described by separate wiki pages. Terms are identified by their original and normative identifier (URI) and can be organized into one or more term vocabularies maintained by a formally designated expert group.

The Semantic MediaWiki is one of the software tools to be evaluated by the Vocabulary Management Task Group (VoMaG). The Semantic MediaWiki platform has been proposed by the Virtual Biodiversity Research and Access Network for Taxonomy (ViBRANT) as a user-friendly and easy to use platform for the collaborative development and definition of basic terms. When the definitions for terms are consolidated they can be included into one of the term vocabularies and published at the GBIF Resources Repository.

An overview of KOS software tools such as this terminology Wiki, is provided here and here].


Vocabulary of Terms

These pages provides examples of how biodiversity vocabularies of terms can be created and maintained using a Semantic Wiki. These examples should be seen only as examples for the purpose of evaluating the Semantic Wiki and nothing more. Some basic information on how to mint a new term is provided here. Terms included in a Darwin Core extension should re-use terms defined in a Vocabulary of Terms (RDF, SKOS).

Vocabulary of Controlled Values

These pages provides examples of how biodiversity vocabularies of concepts can be created and maintained using a Semantic Wiki. These examples should be seen only as examples for the purpose of evaluating the Semantic Wiki and nothing more. Some basic information on how to mint a new concept is provided here. Concepts included in a Darwin Core vocabulary of controlled values should re-use terms defined in a Vocabulary of Concepts (RDF, SKOS).
