Abstract: This entry presents a research study on semantic interoperability that could be achieved in PHAIDRA International persistent ecosystem with support of aligned metadata and Knowledge Organization Systems. Several approaches from LODE-BD Recommendations and from some modeling and alignment techniques for controlled vocabularies are presented. The implementation of a state-of-the-art open source tool, VocBench, is proposed, to support collaborative development and multi-language concept alignment of controlled vocabularies (COAR and other) using SKOS. To aggregate, centrally manage, monitor and share all necessary information on metadata, vocabularies and mappings implemented in PHAIDRA Ecosystem, the development of PHAIDRA Knowledge Base underpinned by a terminology server is suggested.
