A 10 minute presentation on the relationship between semantic terminologies and repositories. Presented at the FAIRsFAIR FAIR Semantics & FAIR Repositories pre-RDA P14 meeting in Helsinki, Finland on the 22nd October 2019. FAIRsharing can describe and display these relationships in a way that allows users to understand which standards are most adopted by the community and which terminologies are used by particular repositories across the natural sciences, engineering sciences, social sciences and humanities.
