# Global Ontology and Vocabulary Index (GOVI)

The Global Ontology and Vocabulary Index (GOVI) is meant to be a Community-driven project to maintain an index of all available RDF ontologies and vocabularies.
The index is basically a big [CSV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) file, containing a list of URLs to ontologies and vocabularies, plus a few meta data (such as authors, license information and latest modification date).

The index file [**index.csv**](./index.csv) contains **3280** ontologies and vocabularies.
You can use the GOVI-browser https://govi-browser.inspirito.de/ to easily browse it.

CSV files are universally readable and easy to work with.
People need almost no prior knowledge to understand the file structure.
Another advantage is the low memory footprint when parsing a CSV file, because you can read it line by line.
If it were in a format, where you always have to read the whole file before processing it (such as JSON), you would need more memory the bigger the index file gets.
