Controlled vocabularies/ontologies in the Czech Republic, how they work, where to find them, CNZK, CSU, etc.

This course is held in the Czech language.

Annotation: Controlled vocabularies and ontologies are essential tools for ensuring semantic interoperability of information systems. The training is focused on explaining the basic principles, structure, and functions of controlled vocabularies and ontologies; attention is paid to their typology and methodology of use and implementation in science and research information systems. The general principles are presented with concrete examples, and examples of systems in the form of thesauri, classifications, codebooks, and ontologies are selected for selected subject areas and domains.

Benefit for participants: participants gain a comprehensive insight into the subject, can recognise the different types of controlled vocabularies and ontologies, can assess their structure and suitability of their use for individual types of information processes, and can use them in basic thematic search.
