Definition: Controlled Vocabulary ABB is a Data Object that enables a carefully curated set of terms used to describe concepts or objects in a specific field or domain. It is a standardized list of terms that are used to ensure consistency and accuracy in the indexing, searching, and retrieval of information Source: Joinup Source reference: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/collection/catalogue-services/document/controlled-vocabularies Last modification: 2024-01-28 Identifier: http://data.europa.eu/dr8/ControlledVocabularyDataObject LOST view: Semantic view EIRA concept: eira:ArchitectureBuildingBlock ABB name: eira:ControlledVocabularyDataObject Example: The following implementation is an example on how this specific Architecture Building Block (ABB) can be instantiated as a Solution Building Block (SBB): EuroVoc - EuroVoc is a multilingual, multidisciplinary thesaurus covering the activities of the EU, the European Parliament in particular.
