Template for Vocabulary Mapping Workshop

Complete set of resources (guidance and templates) needed to host a vocabulary mapping workshop

This Template for Vocabulary Mapping Workshop is aimed at organizations interested in holding a vocabulary mapping workshop. The "how to" pages provide guidance on how to accomplish tasks, while the HTML of the "template" pages can be copied (and information in brackets completed) and used by workshop hosts. Overall, the tasks may seem numerous, but the template was designed with the goal to include everything necessary to hold a strong vocabulary mapping workshop. The template involves a full approach that divides tasks into pre-, during, and post-workshop. The approach is generally to identify the domains of interest, find people and vocabularies for that domain of interest, hold pre-workshop training, hold workshops so that participants can map between domain vocabularies, identify results and next steps in a white paper, and develop a post-workshop report, as well as engage in follow-on activities. Please note that most tasks are included in the pre-workshop list to minimize the tasks necessary during the actual workshop. It is also possible to modularize this approach (details included).
