TERN describe terms in SKOS and ontology-based vocabularies. The controlled vocabularies describe platforms, instruments, sensors, observed properties measured at the TERN observatory and methods used. 
Controlled vocabularies in the context of TERN encompass predefined lists of terms and concepts, each with a specific meaning and scope. These vocabularies enable TERN to describe data and related artefacts using standardised terminology, reducing ambiguity and enhancing data clarity.
Controlled vocabularies are a fundamental component of TERN's data infrastructure. By promoting standardised terminology, they contribute to TERN's goals of advancing ecological research, fostering collaboration, and supporting data-driven decision-making in ecosystem science.
