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 to be consolidated and included in one of the ratified Vocabulary of Terms to be included to the GBIF Resources Repository. GBIF has here installed a demo Semantic Wiki for the purpose of 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 are available at http://kos.gbif.org .

GBIF Vocabulary Tools

These are some of the vocabulary (of terms) management tools that will be evaluated by the VoMaG. Please contact the conveners of the task group or core members of the VoMaG if you are interested and willing to get a user account and help us to evaluate these tools.

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).
