COAR Resource Type Vocabulary - Enhancing Interoperability Across the Repository Ecosystem

COAR maintains three controlled vocabularies. In December 2024, the COAR Resource Type vocabulary, the most well used vocabulary, was updated and now contains 105 terms that represent the wide variety of scholarly resources that are being deposited, managed, and made available through repositories around the world. Each concept is accompanied by a definition and is related to other concepts in the vocabulary, as well as linked to similar concepts in third-party vocabularies. Thanks to the efforts of the COAR's international membership, the vocabulary is now available in 25 languages, offering even greater value to the global open science ecosystem. This is an excellent illustration of the COAR community's strong commitment to multilingualism in scholarly communications.
