The Vocabulary of Information Management in Social Sector – updates and development of maintenance

This summer the Finnish Terminology Centre started a project to update some concept descriptions of client documents defined in the Vocabulary of Information Management in Social Sector, and to develop the maintenance model of the vocabulary and its technical solutions. The project is commissioned by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL).

The material prepared by the Terminology Centre’s terminologist is discussed in workshops attended by subject field experts from THL. Terms and concept descriptions in the vocabulary are given in Finnish and Swedish.

The technical maintenance of the vocabulary is developed so that terminology work can be divided between the Terminology Centre and THL.

The updated Vocabulary of Information Management in Social Sector will be published in Sote-sanastot web service and TEPA Term Bank in this autumn.
