Abstract

Controlled vocabularies help researchers in the social sciences and humanities describe their data consistently, but finding the right ones is often difficult. The SSH FAIR Vocabulary Registry solves this by offering a single place to search for vocabularies, along with useful information about each one. It doesn't store the vocabularies itself but links to where they are maintained, making data easier to find and reuse. Researchers can also suggest new vocabularies to help grow this community resource.
