The Diversity Style Guide: Race/Ethnicity Glossary / Rachele Kanigel, Editor

controlled vocabulary

“The Diversity Style Guide is a resource to help journalists and other media professionals cover a complex, multicultural world with accuracy, authority and sensitivity. This guide, initially a project of the Center for Integration and Improvement of Journalism at San Francisco State University, brings together definitions and information from more than two dozen style guides, journalism organizations and other resources.

The guide contains more than 700 terms related to race/ethnicity, disability, immigration, sexuality and gender identity, drugs and alcohol, and geography. You can browse the stylebook by letter or by category using one of the topic glossaries in the drop-down menu above. Or you can look up a term in the search box below.

Each entry refers back to the original source.” – Introduction

Inclusive Metadata Toolkit / DLF Cultural Assessment Working Group

Last updated October 22, 2024

This toolkit serves as a centralized guide to the range of inclusive metadata tools and resources currently out there, in order to equip practitioners to implement inclusive metadata practices in their day-to-day work.

The toolkit consists of two components:

1. The Inclusive Metadata Toolkit guide document, which provides context for the listed tools and resources in order to make them easier to use and navigate. This document is static.

2. The complete Inclusive Metadata Toolkit Resource Directory, which serves as a sortable and filterable directory of inclusive metadata tools and resources to help you wherever your instituion may be. The version in OSF is a static snapshot of a living document.

The directory is intended to be a living directory as more inclusive metadata tools and resources are created and published over time.
