Experiences with the ISOcat Data Category Registry

The ISOcat Data Category Registry has been a joint project of both ISO TC 37 and the European CLARIN infrastructure. In this paper the experiences of using ISOcat in CLARIN are described and evaluated. This evaluation clarifies the requirements of CLARIN with regard to a semantic registry to support its semantic interoperability needs. A simpler model based on concepts instead of data cate-gories and a simpler workflow based on community recommendations will address these needs better and offer the required flexibility. ispartof: pages:4565-4568 ispartof: Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'14). vol:9 pages:4565-4568 ispartof: LREC location:Reykjavik date:26 May - 31 May 2014 status: published
