The use of shared application profiles and controlled vocabularies are corner stones to organize knowledge and to describe bibliographic records in a meaningful way. They serve as primary steps to facilitate interoperability in the scholarly communication system. This page aims links to other relevant application profiles, controlled vocabularies, and other resources.

Controlled Vocabularies
A fairly comprehensive compilation of vocabularies, datasets and metadata element sets has been worked out by the W3C Library Linked Data Incubator Group .
The following list contains either additions or vocabularies that could be of peculiar interest to repositories:
- LOC Classification Scheme Source Codes
- VIAF
- FOAF
- FundRef
- STW Thesaurus for Economics
- DDI Data model
- AGROVOC
- Getty Arts and Architecture Thesaurus
- MESH
- LCSH
- FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology) derived from LCSH
- CERIF 1.5 Vocabulary
- Creative Commons Rights Expression Language and vocabulary
- Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV)
- University of North Texas (UNT) Vocabularies
