= Dealing with controlled vocabulary =

A first draft of recommended vocabularies (and in some cases components) was attached to this page: [[attachment:Gruppe Vokabular_v3.pdf]] (in German). There are some main problems that have to be adressed and that prevented a more complete recommendation:
* missing precise specification of most facets
* missing accordance between definition/vocabulary of elements in CMDI and linked datcats
* many ISOcat definitions are problematic (to narrow, self-referential definitions, no explicit conceptual domain etc.)
* a more powerful CMDI-based mechanism for specifying (external) vocabularies will only be part of CMDI 1.2
