Used in the representation of cross-vocabulary alignments stored in the service (not listed on [2]) exactMatch, closeMatch, broadMatch, narrowMatch * URL(s) where the published SKOS data may be obtained, if the data are publicly available The content of the vocabulary service may be explored from [3]. Note that a large number of vocabularies are only privately available (please contact us if you want to arrange for a login/password). We would also welcome any further information you care to provide, however this is *not mandatory*. For example, we would be interested to know the scope and size of the vocabulary, what it is primarily used for, in what languages the vocabulary is provided, any other URLs describing the vocabulary or providing further information. See the statistics at [2] for the size of the vocabularies. Here is a qualitative one-liner for each vocabulary: * Iconclass: expert vocabulary for iconographical description. Labels in English/French/German; Italian, Finish and Norwegian are available but not SKOSified. * Rameau: general subject vocabulary used to describe books at French National Library (bnF). Labels mostly in French, though labels in many other languages are present in small amounts * Glass Reference Collection vocabulary: expert vocabulary to describe an archeological glass collection. In Dutch. * Brinkman keywords: general subject vocabulary used to describe books at Dutch National Library (KB). In Dutch. * Wordnet (nouns): general semantic network.
