About the SSH FAIR Vocabulary Registry
Welcome to the FAIR Vocabulary Registry for the Humanities and Social Science (SSH), built in the context of the "Social Sciences and Humanities Open Cloud" project (SSHOC.nl). This project develops state of the art infrastructure for social science and humanities research in collaboration between ODISSEI (Open Data Infrastructure for Social Science and Economic Innovations) and CLARIAH (Common Lab Research Infrastructure for the Arts and Humanities).
The SSH FAIR Vocabulary Registry is a one-stop reference service for vocabularies that are relevant to researchers, developers, data managers or curators in the humanities and social sciences research communities. It aims to support them in finding, (re)using, publishing and adding vocabularies to the registry.
The vocabulary registry aligns to other international initiatives that aim to increase the FAIR-ness ("Findability", "Accessibility", "Interoperability" and "Reusability") of research objects and cultural heritage (meta)data, in this case with a focus on vocabularies (see "Concepts" for some definitions of these terms).
