Terminology Services

Abstract

The use of controlled vocabularies in digital library applications can be expanded with ease when thesauri are made available using a standard service oriented architecture. Adopting this approach the DLP has been able to easily adapt existing tools to use controlled vocabularies and to better take advantage of a wide array of controlled vocabulary sources.

This talk will focus on the technical architecture and implementation of our vocabulary services and the improvements made in various applications. This talk will conclude with demonstrations of cataloging applications, discovery applications and various other tools that were enhanced to utilize the new services.
