Abstract
In this article, the Basel Register of Thesauri, Ontologies & Classications (BARTOC.org) is introduced to raise awareness for an integrated, full terminology registry for knowledge organization systems. Recently, researchers have shown an increased interest in such a single access point for controlled vocabularies. The paper outlines BARTOC's technical implementation, system architecture, and services in the light of semantic technologies. Its central thesis is that if the KOS community agreed on BARTOC as one of their main terminology registries, all involved parties would benefit from linked open knowledge organization systems.
