FAIR metadata is critical to supporting FAIR data overall. Transparency, community engagement, and flexibility are key aspects of FAIR that apply to metadata. This paper presents YAMZ (Yet Another Metadata Zoo), a community-driven vocabulary application that supports FAIR. The history ofYAMZ and its original features are reviewed, followed by a presentation of recent innovations and a discussion of how YAMZ supports FAIR principles. The conclusion identifies next steps and key outputs.

This paper presents a use case exploring the application of the Archival Resource Key (ARK) persistent identifier for promoting and maintaining ontologies. In particular, we look at improving computation with an in-house ontology server in the context of temporally aligned vocabularies. This effort demonstrates the utility of ARKs in preparing historical ontologies for computational archival science.
