The Euvoc ontology, published by the Publications Office of the European Union, supports the development of authority tables (Name Authority Lists or NALs), Eurovoc and EU corporate datasets. It contains a set of classes and properties enabling all the information to be expressed in multilingual format. It helps define relationships between terms and concepts across multiple domains, supporting interoperability and standardization across European Union documentation and databases. It also defines a set a commonly use properties (i.e: start date, end dates, status), and supports the reusability on common data (currencies, languages, countries).
The Euvoc ontology is maintained by the Publications Office of the European Union and disseminated on the EU Vocabularies website.
