Integrate a vocabulary into your own system

Research Vocabularies Australia users have several options for using an ARDC-hosted vocabulary in their own data centres, portals, data generation tools, vocabulary services or other applications.

The Linked Data API allows developers to integrate the vocabulary service using HTTP and various data formats (including XML, JSON and RDF). The Vocabulary Widget lets you add data classification capabilities to your data capture tools via Research Vocabularies Australia.

Subscribe to a vocabulary

The subscription functionality within Research Vocabularies Australia allows users to subscribe to notifications for specific vocabularies, vocabulary owners, or all vocabularies. Once subscribed, users will begin receiving weekly digest emails that detail the changes that have occurred during the last week. Subscribing is a great way to keep up to date with changes and ensure you are using the latest version of a vocabulary.
