property_value: dcterms:description "SRAO is a hierarchy of academic disciplines that draws from the re3data subject list as well as importing terms from 7 publicly-available ontologies. This hierarchy covers all of the humanities and natural sciences and, where external vocabularies could not be found, SRAO classes were created.\n\nThe initial hierarchy and class set came from FAIRsharing user requirements. Additional classes have been drawn from the following sources:\n\n1. the re3data subject categories as listed at http://www.re3data.org/browse/by-subject/\n2. NCIT (http://dx.doi.org/10.3233/978-1-60750-949-3-33, CC BY 4.0)\n3. the EDAM Topic hierarchy as available at http://edamontology.org (http://doi.org/10.1093/bioinformatics/btt113, CC BY-SA 4.0)\n4.
