Development of an infrastructure to facilitate management and exchange of concordances between library knowledge organization Systems:The use and exchange of knowledge organization systems (KOS) has increased due to the availability of tools and standards during the last few years. These KOS play a vital role in the management of knowledge and data. However, concordances between these systems, are rather rare. The proposed project aims to address this gap by developing tools, methods and techniques to simplify and accelerate both the intellectual creation of concordances as well as ease the use and exchange of the same and at the same time provide quality monitoring that aid quality management. The tools will be provided as modular web applications to support effective processing of concordances. In addition, existing software (KOS software, mapping algorithms, cataloguing software ...) will be evaluated and enhanced with new components for storage, access to and analysis of different concordances. These components will be linked with each other through uniform and open APIs, so that a shared infrastructure is developed for the management, exchange and building of concordances.
