About the Symposium

This symposium brings together users, creators and publishers of vocabularies across multiple domains and sectors in Australia. Delegates will share current experiences and future requirements as we collectively move towards a state of FAIR vocabularies that underpin cross-domain data reuse. Link to program

Anyone with an interest in vocabularies is welcome to participate. The event will be of particular interest to researchers, data managers, vocabulary publishers, librarians and policy developers across the research, government and industry sectors.

The symposium will be held online and in person, on November 14 and 15, 2022. Register to participate free of charge.

The symposium will be headlined by plenary presentations on the future of vocabulary and classification management in Australia and internationally, both within and across domains.

The symposium is oriented around five themes:

1. Cross-domain vocabularies in practice

2. Extending vocabulary use across domains

3. Current best practices in vocabulary management and governance in Australia

4. Vocabulary services and technologies

5. Social and institutional challenges and opportunities in the adoption of vocabularies
