VocBench is a web-based, multilingual, collaborative development platform for managing and sharing reference data and controlled lists of codes and terms used to organise information. With persistent URIs, managed concepts are correctly referenced in any domain. Developed in a context neutral way as an open-source project, it can be deployed or further developed for any sector wanting to have authentic reference data/codes made available for information systems and human users.

Reference data, such as code lists and authority tables, means data that are used solely to characterise or relate to other data. They are fundamental building blocks of most information systems. Using common interoperable reference data is essential for achieving interoperability.
