In addition to downloading terminological data, Loterre offers a range of services for terminology producers, whether or not they want to share their work in Loterre. The Check, Transform and Align services aim at facilitating the creation and enrichment of SKOS/RDF-XML terminological files, in accordance with the FAIR data principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable). n.b.: The user data are not stored by Inist-CNRS. →

This service aligns (maps) a valid SKOS/RDF-XML file (source) with a Loterre terminology resource (target) specified by the user. It checks whether a term (preferential or synonymous) of a concept A of the source vocabulary is identical to a term (preferential or synonymous) of a concept B of the target vocabulary (for the same language code). It processes files containing “skos:Concept” (short form of the RDF/XML syntax) or “rdf:Description[rdf:type[@rdf:resource=’http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#Concept’]]”. Note… →

The “Annotate” service allows you to search, in a portion of text written in French, English or Spanish, for the presence of terms (preferred labels and synonyms) from a terminology hosted in Loterre. It displays the text in which the detected terms have been highlighted and a table of corresponding terms and concepts, with their URI. →

The “Transform” service enables to obtain terminology in SKOS-XML format or to convert a terminology initially in SKOS-XML format into another format. The modules offered by this service can be grouped into three types: correction, enrichment and conversion. Correction These modules are in particular intended to correct anomalies previously detected by the “Control” service. Remove term duplicates in a SKOS/RDF-XML file Files containing “skos:Concept” or “rdf:Description[rdf:type[@rdf:resource=’http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#Concept’]]” are processed by this… →

The « Check » service permits an online chek of a SKOS terminology file validity. It allows three types of checks to be performed: collections validity, concepts validity, concept scheme validity. The color code of the detected anomalies indicates their degree of severity: red background critical anomaly orange background major anomaly yellow background minor anomaly Check of the collections validity The service Controlling a SKOS/RDF-XML file at the collections level… →

Loterre (acronym for Linked open terminology resources) is a platform for exposing and sharing multidisciplinary and multilingual scientific terminology. Based on a triplestore, it complies with open and linked data (LOD) web standards and FAIR principles, which aim to make data Easy to find, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. →

The terminology available in Loterre can meet the needs of text-mining, semantic annotation, information retrieval or translation. Access to the resources sotred in Loterre is open to all, with the subsequent use of each one being linked to the license that governs it. →

Loterre gives access to scientific terminology resources and allows: to browse them to search them via a search engine, a SPARQL endpoint and an API to download them in several formats Loterre also offers online services, the content of which is detailed in the “Loterre services” paragraph of this page. →

Loterre is not restricted to Inist terminological resources. It offers its services to other producers of terminological data, provided they have requested the service using the proposition form. Interested producers are invited to read the Loterre Charter. →
