Quick start
To share your vocabulary on the LCD repository, follow these steps:
-
Ensure that you can share with an appropriate license as explained here.
-
Ensure you have noted the meaning of each of your terms and that there are no ambiguities (for example do not use the same term to mean two different things).
-
If you do not already have URIs for your terms, or if you are not sure what a URI is, contact the repository maintainers to help you produce them.

The LCD vocabularies repository aims to collect individual conservation vocabularies in SKOS format to assist data integration. Please consult the sections about packaging SKOS data in TriG (for publishing and for matching) and about the file naming conventions when contributing data to the repository. We advise forking the LCD vocabulary repository and pushing changes to it. The hub for matching conservation vocabularies is the Arts & Architecture Thesaurus. LCD can submit new terms to the AAT on behalf of a vocabulary maintainer.
This document is based on work done by the LCD consortium during 2019. Please consult these flowcharts for easy reference.
