The interoperability requirements in the IDS directly lead to the usage of commonly known, standardized terms to describe data, services, contracts, and so on. Collection of these standardized identifiers form so-called vocabularies. In the most basic appearance, any list of controlled terms can be a vocabulary. To make use of their content, the respective vocabulary documents need to be shared between the relevant parties. This can be done through digital catalogs but also in printed forms like for instance a language dictionary.

In the IDS, however, further requirements occur. The terms of the vocabulary must be machine-readable, also to some degree their descriptions and titles, as well as new terms must be available for lookups. As stated in [Section 3.4](../3_4_Information_Layer), the IDS relies in RDF to encode its attributes and data descriptions. The IDS Information Model is the central vocabulary that all parties of any IDS share.

The IDS Information Model is the central vocabulary that all parties of any IDS share.

Nevertheless, the IDS Information Model only represents the lowest common denominator of all IDS use cases. It is therefore the minimal set of terms all IDS components must understand. In specific domains, however, more and more expressive terms are needed. It is therefore a good practice to extend the basic information model with additional vocabularies and provide them in the same ways as the core one.
