Vocabularies References
A vocabulary is a set of terms (words, codes, etc.) that are used in a specific community. Vocabularies provide a mechanism for communication- be it written, oral or electronic- because the meaning of the terms are known and agreed upon by the community members. Read more on vocabularies…
MMI provides references to vocabularies that it is aware of, including a description, link to the vocabulary, and an informal characterization of its maturity, in some cases. If you would like to see a reference added, please contact us or sign up for an MMI account and add it yourself. You may also search all references.
