These dictionaries, or controlled vocabularies, control the terms we use in describing and supporting the description of scientific and other observations. This also opens up more possibilities for the datasets to be used in computer-aided manipulation, distribution and long-term reuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In certain areas, it is not always possible or agreeable for data providers to use the same terms. In such cases, controlled vocabularies can be used as a medium to which data centres can map their equivalent terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BGS has a number of geoscience vocabularies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/technologies\/bgs-rock-classification-scheme\/\">Rock Classification Scheme<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/technologies\/the-bgs-lexicon-of-named-rock-units\/\">Lexicon of Named Rock Units<\/a><\/li><li>ages of geochronological intervals used to attribute feature:<ul><li>lithology<\/li><li>lithostratigraphy<\/li><li>names of mapped rock units<\/li><li>names of maps<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div  class=\"accordions\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"acc-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"acc-top secondary-background icon-arrow button no-btn\"><span class=\"button-content\" tabindex=\"-1\">Vocabulary structure<\/span><\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"acc-body sea-background-e\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Our controlled vocabularies, or dictionaries, generally contain the following information for each term as a minimum:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Code \u2014 a permanent identifier for the term, designed predominantly for computer storage rather than human readability.<\/li>\n<li>Translation \u2014 a short, concise text string representing the term in human-readable form where space is limited (suitable for drop-down lists in applications).<\/li>\n<li>Description \u2014 a full description of what is meant by the term.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our vocabularies are version controlled and we keep a record of all changes.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div  class=\"accordions\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"acc-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"acc-top secondary-background icon-arrow button no-btn\"><span class=\"button-content\" tabindex=\"-1\">Caveats<\/span><\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"acc-body sea-background-e\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul>\n<li>BGS vocabularies are required to have this information as the minimum for each term, but complex or specialised dictionaries, especially in the area of geoscience, may have extra attributes that help qualify the term.<\/li>\n<li>The preferred attribute name of the permanent identifier is &#8216;CODE&#8217;, but certain dictionaries may contain software-specific names.
