EcoPortal: An Environment for FAIR Semantic Resources in the Ecological Domain

Ecological semantic resources are being increasingly required by researchers. To improve their FAIRness, LifeWatch ERIC launched a repository to collect, describe, display, manage and facilitate semantic resource discovery, called EcoPortal. Based on OntoPortal, EcoPortal has achieved the key functionality targets commonly expected by knowledge organisation system repositories. In addition, it allows for resource updating through an integrated editor, VocBench, while published resources may also obtain a Digital Object Identification for citing.
