The Concept Coding Framework (CCF) effort, started in the European WWAAC project and now continued in the European AEGIS project, as well as the current vocabulary efforts within BCI (Blissymbolics Communication International), highlight that issues of AAC vocabulary content, management and interoperability are central. This paper outlines some stages of this work so far, including the important role of the Authorised Blissymbol Vocabulary (BCI-AV) and its relation to resources like the Princeton WordNet lexical database and the ARASAAC symbol library. The work initiated to link Blissymbolics and other AAC symbol vocabularies, as well as the CCF concept ontologies, to the ISO Concept Database (ISO/CDB) and the work of ISO Technical Committee 37 (ISO TC 37), will be discussed. In this context the long-term ambition to establish an ISO standardised Unicode font for Blissymbolics will also be brought to the fore. We'll stress the importance of clarified and, when possible, harmonised licensing conditions.
