Workshop

On November 22, the Publications Office of the EU and the University of Rome Tor Vergata will organise a “VocBench 3 day” in order to:
  • meet stakeholders and interested users,
  • present the status of development of the system, and
  • show a first prototype (a first release of the new UI, setup on an extended version of the old Semantic Turkey), with the intention of gathering feedback for the months of development to come.
When: Tuesday 22 November 2016 from 2PM to 5PM
Where: The event will take place at the Universitätsbibliothek of Göttingen, Germany. 
 
The objective of the VB3 day is to bring together existing stakeholders and new interested users, expose the roadmap which has been laid down for the project, detailing established modeling and technological choices, show a first demo of the system and gather feedback for the future of the platform.
 
The meeting will also be a networking event for people and organisations developing thesauri and ontologies, allowing them to share their knowledge and experiences, and an occasion for interacting in person with the VocBench team.
 
 

VocBench 3

Funded by the ISA² Programme of the EU, VocBench 3 (aka VB3) is an effort to develop a platform for collaborative editing of OWL ontologies, SKOS and SKOSXL thesauri, and other datasets based on information models of the RDF family, with particular emphasis on collaboration and multilingualism.
 
VocBench 3 follows the path led by its previous incarnations: VocBench, originally developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO of the UN) for maintenance of the AGROVOC thesaurus, and VocBench 2, developed by the University of Rome Tor Vergata - jointly with FAO - as a general purpose platform for collaborative editing of SKOSXL thesauri. 
 
VocBench 3 will be developed by the University of Rome Tor Vergata, with an entirely new user interface and a largely revised backend architecture: VB3 aims at improving the capabilities of its predecessors, with an unconstrained RDF editing environment, dedicated support for the OWL, SKOS and SKOSXL standards, more agile user interaction and an extensible architecture.
