Abstract
With growing research across scientific domains and increasing daily publications volumes, it is essential to provide our users, at Elsevier, with up to date, comprehensive and to the point data. One of the key aspects of that offer is to have a global Knowledge Organization System (KOS) overarching scientific branches but also going deep enough into each domain to provide rich annotation or classification capacities. Knowing that the endeavor of creating one global “ontology of everything” is an utopia, we designed a dual/multi-vocabulary model where domain-specific extensions can be used in junction with a high-to-mid-level KOS covering the broad spectrum of scientific research. In this paper, we present our design model along with our updating procedure and our lessons learned in different use cases: the Evise submission system, the Topic Pages project and a Semantic Annotation Proof of Concept experiment in the field of Engineering.

We chose to focus on these two use cases as these are the most visible for the international community and cover the requirements that are derived from the crosswalk use case.
