V4OA

V4OA (Vocabularies for Open Access) is a JISC-funded project (managed by UKOLN) to establish an ongoing process by which agreements can be reached on standard vocabularies to be used in particular circumstances in the Open Access (OA) context. V4OA recommendations are to specify appropriate vocabularies, application profiles and authority lists to use in the OA scholarly communications space, with an established stakeholder group working on terms of reference and governance as signatories to agreements, and there will be a Web resource to act as a focal point for these recommendations and agreements.
