Metadata Schema and Crosswalk Registry (MSCR), Datatype registry (DTR) and vocabulary service being developed in FAIRCORE4EOSC are suitable to make semantic artefacts FAIR.

Users can register metadata schemas, crosswalks, vocabularies, and datatypes and receive a PID and to make these artefacts machine-actionable. The services can integrated within workflows of researchers.

NeXus data format

Standard vocabulary and rules for defining new metadata

NVS is the NERC Vocabulary server in the marine domain. https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk

The NVS is a service providing access to centrally managed and uniquely identified lists of terms for annotating data in the marine and related earth science domains. It is managed by the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) at the National Oceanography Centre (NOC). It is funded by the UK Research and Innovation Natural Environment Research Council (UKRI-NERC) as part of its Environmental Data Services (EDS) national capabilities, with additional funding from European projects. Standardised controlled vocabularies are used by data creators, data managers, and tool developers for indexing, annotating, and searching for data, enabling greater interoperability and reuse.

Semantic analyser: https://semantics.bodc.ac.uk

Scan metadata records and datasets to identify which semantic artefacts could be used if only text is provided. Can be used for instruments platfomrs, keywords and observable properties in the environmental domain
