3. Management of standard and controlled terminology activities:  this activity relates to maintaining and implementing enhancements of the content and structure of the controlled terminologies that EFSA uses in the remit of data dissemination and data collection/connection. EFSA standard and controlled terminologies are lists of coded terms that can be organised into one or many hierarchies that are used for reporting the values of specific data elements or disseminate them according to specific domains. This activity also includes support in designing, implementing and maintaining ontologies, see: 

• https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/pub/3424 catalogues for Standard Sample Description v.2 (SSD2), 

• https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/data/data-standardisation, 

• https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/efsajournal/pub/3945. 

Support in designing and implementing mappings of EFSA standard and controlled terms vs. other existing data terminology standards, together with their structures is also part of the foreseen activities. 

This call for tenders and resulting specific contracts/order forms, services/activities foreseen comprise: 

• the documented collection of requirements for the management of standard and controlled terminology, 

• requests for new terminologies, their implementation and maintenance (e.g. the inclusion of new terms in existing catalogues, the revision of catalogues terms, detection of duplicates, synonyms, deprecated terms and errors, the mapping between different controlled terminologies), 

• implementation of structural changes to a standard terminology (e.g. including new hierarchies or new fields), 

• implementing and maintenance of ontologies, 

• support in designing and implementing mappings of EFSA standard and controlled terminology and structures vs. other existing data terminology standards. 

• the verification and testing of all functionalities offered. 

4. Data flows for integration and transformation activities: this activity relates to the implementation of data integration flows to produce Extract Transform Load (ETL), Extract Load Transform (ELT), Enrichment, Mapping and Transformation processes and pipelines. 

The aim is to produce fit-for-purpose scientific data tables and views to support the analysis. A number of these procedures are already in place for handling existing data collections, still there is the need for new data flows and maintenance of existing ones. EFSA will design new data flows for new data collections/connections and their related processes. 

In the remit of this call for tenders and resulting contract, services/activities foreseen comprise: 

• the documented collection of requirements for the Data flows for integration and transformation,
