Community-building through international collaboration on multilingual LOD vocabulary: Nomenclature for Museum Cataloging
Thursday October 10, 2024 4:30pm - 5:15pm EDT
Zoom
The Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN) will present the Nomenclature for Museum Cataloging project, a LOD vocabulary used by museums to index and access their collections. We will describe how Nomenclature has leveraged LOD to enhance the dataset through co-referencing with other LOD vocabularies, and has developed LOD features to make it easier for museums to implement the vocabulary within their collections management systems. Nomenclature is an international partnership between CHIN, the Nomenclature Committee of the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) and Parks Canada. Development is driven by the museum community, with Nomenclature users continuously making submissions to the Nomenclature Committee for the addition of new terms and alterations to existing terms. We will describe the community-building aspects of this multilingual, international project: the governance, and how the various committees and language communities work together to include terminology in Spanish, French, Inuktitut (an Inuit language), and Canadian regional terms. Despite limited financial and human resources, CHIN and the Nomenclature Committee have developed partnerships and technologies to support these initiatives. Nomenclature will continue to respond to the needs of the community, through terminology review, modernized conventions, technological improvements, and inclusion of terms for Indigenous concepts and in Indigenous languages.
