Making meaning together
A working vocabulary
Useful words for connecting places, practices and evidence — with room for different meanings.
Stories and local language come first. These terms help us compare records; a source’s original wording and context stay attached. Suggestions enter review with their proposer and scope.
Connections show sourced assertions, page references, or computed similarity. Those describe different kinds of knowledge.

Where this comes from
SKOS supplies a way to describe and relate vocabularies. Valueflows and the earlier BKC vocabulary inform the commitment and learning concepts. Simon Grant’s process puts stories, dialogue and local meanings at the centre of ontology commoning.
