Researchers don’t always speak the same language. 💬 Often, different terminology is used to describe the same data. This makes comparing, interpreting and integrating data challenging. Defined vocabularies are sets of standardised terms that ensure the research community describes and understands data in the same way. Research Vocabularies Australia is a national vocabulary service provided by the ARDC that brings together standard vocabularies across the sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities to make this possible. Why use Research Vocabularies Australia? 📖 If you’re a researcher, you can use Research Vocabularies Australia to find and access domain-specific vocabularies agreed upon by the research community. Using a research vocabulary enables other researchers to evaluate whether your data is relevant to their work. It also ensures your data is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) to maximise its impact. “Water temperature is a good example,” said Dr Natalia Atkins, who manages vocabularies for the Integrated Marine Observing System (IMOS). “Some people call it ‘temperature of the water body’, others call it ‘sea temperature,’ then there’s ‘sea surface temperature’ or ‘SST’. If you don’t mark things up in a systematic way, you can never be sure it’s the same [thing].” How do I get started? 💡 Head to Research Vocabularies Australia to browse, search, access or publish vocabularies: bit.ly/ardcrva #research #data #vocabulary #FAIRdata
