The CERIF 1.5 release comprises the CERIF 1.5 FDM module plus the CERIF 1.5 XML module only; it does not include the rest of CERIF intellectual property which is held by euroCRIS. The CERIF 1.5 release incorporates updates inline with the structure of the CERIF XML released under 1.4, to be validated by a new CERIF 1.5 XML Schema file. This CERIF 1.5 XML Schema file based on the CERIF 1.5 FDM is published under this license.
The conditions of this license can be waived for extensions to both the published CERIF 1.5 XML Schema file and the FDM in CERIF consistent style as defined by the euroCRIS CERIF Task Group while maintaining attribution to the licensor, euroCRIS. Any extension should be proposed to and validated by the CERIF Task Group if You wish to claim CERIF compatibility.
euroCRIS will leave earlier licensed versions available on the website but does not commit to support any but the latest released version and may remove earlier versions without notice.

- CERIF 1.5 Vocabulary
The latest version of the CERIF Vocabulary incorporates a substantial update with respect to quantity and quality. The entire vocabulary currently comprises nearly 450 terms, each assigned to at least one particular contextual scheme, e.g. "Person Employment Types", "Activity Finance Category", "Person Output Contributions", "Person Event Involvements". Almost all terms have either a description, examples or definitions, and indicate the originating source of the term. A substantial list of terms in the current vocabulary have been provided through the RMAS project, but also standardized terms from related vocabularies have been employed. A short introduction into the CERIF vocabulary and its range will be given with the CERIF 1.5 Semantics document in preparation above.
available now Excel file or HTML file (for human radability), CERIF-XML (for machine readability), SQL script (db insert script for members only)
