CCR

CCR – CLARIN Concept Registry

The CCR is a concept registry according to the W3C SKOS recommendation. It was chosen by CLARIN to serve as a semantic registry to overcome semantic interoperability issues with CMDI metadata and different annotation tag sets used for linguistic annotation. The CCR is part of the CMDI metadata infrastructure.

The W3C SKOS recommendation, and the OpenSKOS implementation thereof, provides the means for ‘data-sharing, bridging several different fields of knowledge, technology and practice’. According to this model, each concept is assigned a unique administrative identifier, together with information on the status or decision-making process associated with the concept. In addition, concept specifications in the CCR contain linguistic descriptions, such as definitions and examples, and can be associated with a variety of labels.
