Updating the Master Controlled Vocabulary System

The master controlled vocabulary system has been developed to promote consistency between different instances of the ODM using a moderated approach for changing the Master Controlled Vocabulary Database. The Master Controlled Vocabulary Registry displays the master controlled vocabulary entries and allows users to request additions or changes to these.

Changes that you request will be forwarded to the master controlled vocabulary moderators who will attend to requests as promptly as possible. When you submit a request, you should receive an email verifying that you request has been received. When your request is approved, you should also receive an email confirmation. If you have a request that cannot be accommodated on this website, please contact the ODM controlled vocabulary moderators:

David Tarboton
Utah State University
david.tarboton<AT>usu.edu
Michael Piasecki
Drexel University
mp29<AT>drexel.edu

Users may then update their local ODM controlled vocabulary tables from this master set using the Update Controlled Vocabulary tool in ODM Tools. ODM Tools makes use of the Master Controlled Vocabulary Web Services to return the current terms from the Master Controlled Vocabulary Database to update your local ODM controlled vocabulary tables.
