Glossary Management

  • Creating, editing, and viewing glossaries
    • A glossary has a configurable primary language, which determines the language required for concept names
    • Linking related glossaries
  • Creating, editing, and viewing concepts
    • Concept properties follow the SKOS standard
    • Concept hierarchies can be created even across linked glossaries
    • Ability to view and edit properties beyond the base application model
    • Classification of concepts according to a configurable taxonomy
  • Multilingual concepts and glossaries
    • Each concept and glossary can have translations of relevant properties in any language
    • A translation in the glossary’s primary language is mandatory
  • Recording the history of changes to glossaries and concepts, including the author of each change
  • Access control for glossaries at the level of roles, user groups, and individual users
  • Creating and viewing glossary snapshots (including all concepts and related glossaries)
    • Snapshots are read-only and serve to record the state of a glossary at a given point in time
  • Commenting on concepts and rating comments (thumbs up or down)
  • Managing the concept life cycle using states
  • Defining new properties for glossaries and concepts
  • Concept quality validation
  • Full-text search of concepts and glossaries
    • Including the option to select the search language
  • Faceted search of concepts
  • Importing a glossary from a file containing RDF compatible with SKOS
  • Importing translations of existing concepts from a file containing RDF compatible with SKOS
  • Importing a glossary from an MS Excel file
  • Importing a glossary from a configurable external source
    • The external source is a SPARQL endpoint containing SKOS-compatible data
    • TermIt ensures continuous automatic synchronization of the external glossary (every 24 hours)
  • Exporting a glossary to a file containing RDF compatible with SKOS
  • Exporting a glossary to an MS Excel file
  • Use of Markdown formatting in relevant attributes (e.g., concept definitions)
  • Meaningful identifiers generated from the name
    • Based on the primary language
    • The generated identifier can be manually changed (when creating a concept or glossary)

Document and Text Annotation

  • Each glossary can be associated with a set of documents
  • Documents can be uploaded into the system; HTML is supported
  • Text analysis service
    • Finding occurrences of existing concepts in text
    • Suggesting new concepts based on their importance in the text
    • Semi-automatic - the user must confirm occurrences
  • Linking a concept definition to a specific location in a document
  • Reusing confirmed occurrences when uploading a new version of a document
  • Suggesting related concepts (within the glossary) based on analysis of the concept definition

Other Features

  • User authorization based on roles (+ access control via access lists, see above)
  • Registration/password reset via email link
  • Integration with an authentication service (standard OAuth2/OIDC)
    • User management is then handled by this service
  • Personal access tokens: a long-life bearer token for authentication with the API without user credentials
    • Users can generate them in the UI in the user profile.
    • Once generated, the token expiration cannot be modified. A new token must be issued.
    • Deleting the token in the UI revokes the token, and it cannot be used for authentication anymore.
    • For authentication with the API, the token is used in the HTTP authentication header: Authentication: Bearer <TOKEN>.
    • All actions performed with the token are authorized by the user associated with the token.
  • Public user interface for viewing glossaries and concepts
    • Can be disabled
    • Public access to a single vocabulary can be disabled via access control and the anonymous user role
  • REST API with documentation compliant with the OpenAPI standard
  • Dashboard overview of recently changed and commented concepts
  • Basic statistics
    • Number of concepts/glossaries/users
    • Distribution of concept counts among glossaries
    • Distribution of concept classifications
    • User activity within a glossary (new concepts/edits/deletions)
  • Localization of the user interface into English and Czech
  • Optional regular weekly email overview of activity (changes, comments)
