One of the barrier of the Fashion, Textile and Clothing (FTC) domain is the multiplicity and the evolving vocabulary used by the industry players as well as stylists or common users. Some projects tried to tackle the challenge of the absence of common vocabulary and concepts shared at least by the professionals. However, the efforts to ensure a better interoperability and modelisation were limited. VETIVOC intends to overcome these limitations. This modular termino-ontological resource covering the different FTC fields, from the fiber to the fashion victim, from the shoes to the headwear, from the garment to the accessories offers a flowing consistency throughout the domain, a vocabulary that accommodates several natural languages (not only English) and an industrialized project (not a proof of concept). The useful semantic solutions offered include interoperability as well as indexing and information retrieval. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
