What is TS4NFDI?

Terminology Services 4 NFDI (TS4NFDI) is a cross-domain service for the provision, curation, development, harmonization, and mapping of terminologies. It aims to facilitate consensus-building and interoperability of services across disciplines to achieve a shared knowledge representation and knowledge engineering framework. The service seeks to integrate and converge individual solutions into a standardized, interoperable, and sustainable service suite with Service Wrapper, API Gateway, mapping service, and reusable GUI widgets.

Goals

Currently, TS4NFDI is in the initialization phase with the following goals: to create a comprehensive overview of all consortia and the terminologies and related services in use – as well as their requirements and relevant use cases. Based on the development of a detailed architecture, a first pilot should at least integrate three different terminology service platforms into an aligned terminology service backend.
