by Pritam Kumar Paul 11 Jul '26

11 Jul '26

Dear Sir/Madam, Greetings! I hope this message finds you well. We are conducting a research study entitled "Research Data Management and Open Data Support Services in Academic Libraries of North-East India." The study aims to examine the current status of Research Data Management (RDM) and Open Data support services, institutional readiness, infrastructure, policies, professional competencies, and capacity-building needs across academic libraries in North-East India. As the Librarian or a senior library and information professional at your institution, your knowledge and experience are invaluable to this research. We cordially invite you to participate by completing the online questionnaire. *Survey Link: https://ap.surveymars.com/q/dxAHH6TD9 <https://ap.surveymars.com/q/dxAHH6TD9>* The questionnaire will take approximately 10-12 minutes to complete. Your participation is entirely voluntary. All responses will be treated with the strictest confidentiality and used solely for academic research purposes. No personally identifiable information will be disclosed without your explicit consent. Your valuable participation will contribute significantly to developing an evidence-based understanding of RDM readiness, Open Data support services, and research data stewardship practices in universities across North-East India. The findings of this study are expected to support institutional planning, inform policy development, and identify capacity-building opportunities that will strengthen research data management and Open Science initiatives in the region. We kindly request you to complete the survey at your earliest convenience and, if appropriate, share this invitation with other eligible library professionals within your institution. Thank you very much for your valuable time, support, and cooperation. We sincerely appreciate your contribution to this important research. With regards, -- *Pritam Kumar Paul* *Librarian* *K. K. Das College, Garia* *Kolkata-700084*

Open-source taxonomy stacks for integration with data and bibliographic apps
by hello＠ai4library.com 06 Jul '26

06 Jul '26

I test ran two open-source stacks that manages taxonomies - Opentheso and Skosmos. Both platforms support multilingual, hierarchical vocabularies and can manage multiple vocabularies (or concept schemes) within a single deployment. Opentheso was first released in 2006 and has been maintained by the WST (Web Sémantique & Thésauri) team at the Maison de l'Orient et de la Méditerranée (MOM/CNRS). It has an admin console, along with the REST API. Opentheso uses Java and Postgres and released under a GPL-alike license. Opentheso also integrates with systems like Koha, WordPress, Nuxeo and others through REST APIs and plugins. Like Opentheso, Skosmos is built around the W3C SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) standard. Skosmos does not store taxonomy data itself, instead it reads RDF vocabularies from an RDF triplestore. Skosmos is maintained by Kansalliskirjasto - The National Library of Finland. FAO AGROVOC is one of the flagship deployments of Skosmos. For bringing standards-based taxonomies to ODK/CAPIBuilder, both platforms are technically suitable. If the primary requirement is publishing stable taxonomies with relatively infrequent updates, Skosmos offers a simpler operational model. If collaborative taxonomy authoring and governance are required, Opentheso is the stronger choice. Organizations can access Opentheso through web to manage their taxonomies.
