Metadata Vocabularies


Links to more than 60 vocabulary sources and a brief introduction on the importance and use of controlled vocabularies are available at the TASi site (Technical Advisory Service for Images). It does miss some of the important geographic sites, but is a good starting point for an exploration of various controlled vocabularies.

Thanks Owen for point this site out to me.
