Abstract
The Germany-centred network Colonial Contexts brings together experts from different areas of the GLAM
spectrum. It deals with questions of digital consolidation, processing and visibility, as well as possibilities
of use of digital materials and data from colonial contexts. To ensure interconnectedness and accessibility,
the use of controlled vocabulary is central. To address these issues, a separate working group has been
established. The Working Group Thesauri aims to gain an overview regarding existing
thesauri/vocabularies, tries to network them and discuss ethical questions when it comes to questions of
naming especially regarding cultural groups.
