We decided to create 2 new controlled vocabularies (SKOS collections) to be hosted on the NVS to hold the persistent identifiers and definitions of terms needed for "Actions" and "Processes" as part of scientific event loggers on board research vessels. The content is largely drawn from the terms used by the EARS ontology. The terms have been reviewed by an international informal group that started meeting online in 2021 but had been in communication for some time before that, with members representing multiple organisations or existing initiatives or projects including WHOI/R2R, RBINS/EuroFleet/EARS, Oregon State University/CORIOLIX, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and NOC-BODC/NVS. The main objective of the group was to consolidate existing work on vocabularies to support event loggers and in particular ensure that terms used by EARS and R2R were aligned.

These done, we now need to create the collections on the NVS. What name shall we give to these collections? EARS/R2R Actions and EARS/R2R Processes? Shall we create a new governance group for them or can we use an existing one already set up in C30 (SeaVoX maybe)?

Proposing that the identifiers for the 2 new collections in the NVS be EL1 for the Actions vocab and EL2 for the Processes vocab.
