The Terminology Management Platform (TMP) has been developed within the Linked Heritage and the AthenaPlus project in order to provide to cultural institutions a set of tools which would allow them to easily publish their terminologies as a part of the Semantic Web in the form of Linked Data. « Terminology » in the context of the TMP refers to any Knowledge Organisation System or controlled vocabulary. A focus is given to thesauri as most of the cultural institutions are using thesauri. Classifications, simple lists of terms or glossaries can also be managed within the TMP. The TMP can help in structuring and documenting terminologies that might need to be enriched.
The final goal of this step is to enhance the multilinguality and the semantic understanding of the metadata available on Europeana. Europeana as a matter of fact strongly recommends the use of the SKOS as a Semantic Web compliant format.
