I co-chair the MEDIN Standards Working Group (SWG), we have governance over the MEDIN standards and guidelines https://medin.org.uk/data-standards and feed into marine recorder developments. A little while ago the group asked if we might be able to publish the Verification Status Terms listed here: https://docs.nbnatlas.org/verification-status-terms/ on the NERC Vocabulary Server so that they are more interoperable and the terms have URIs which can be linked to within datasets. Would you be happy for the terms to be published on the NVS as a controlled vocabulary?
If so:
Would you like an NBN representative/group to have governance over the controlled vocabulary, or would you like the MEDIN SWG to take governance of the published vocabulary? This is mostly for update purposes, the governance group will be given permissions to be able to update the vocabulary. To my knowledge this term list has been relatively static and isn't expected to be updated regularly so this is mostly a formality. Regardless of the governance NBN would be cited as the originator of the vocabulary.
Can the vocabulary be associated with an open license for users (CC0 or CC-BY)?
