At the same time, they are categorized hierarchically. This provides for the possibility to return objects linked to subordinate terms to searches for a given superordinate term.

Besides, a centralized curation of controlled vocabularies leads to more uniform results.</p><p>To ease the curation, we have developed a tool, <a href="/software/term_nodac">"nodac"</a>, which automatizes much of the enrichment work and offers a simple interface for positioning terms hierarchically. With this tool, norm data editors, can also use batch editing functionalities for enhancing the controlled vocabularies.</p><p>The curation of controlled vocabularies is thus a joint effort of the participating museums, direct volunteering, and support by a number of state governments, led by a small team of "norm data editors".</p>';
