Adopting the UAT as an IVOA vocabulary Version 1.0
Abstract
The Unified Astronomy Thesaurus (UAT) provides a comprehensive, interlinked set of concepts relevant for astronomy and astrophysics using SKOS. It is taken up in the Virtual Observatory at least for registry subject keywords. For various reasons, it is desirable to have the UAT available subject to the constraints laid down in the IVOA Vocabularies in the VO 2 specification. This Note describes the rationale and the details of the UAT adoption by the IVOA.
