After two decades of standards stewardship, CASRAI ships its first modernised dictionary release: v2026.1 contains 714 entries across 20 thematic domains organised into five tracks (contribution, identifiers, data & methods, compliance, assessment). Every entry has a stable URI, Schema.org DefinedTerm markup, and JATS / JSON-LD encoding ready for any CRIS, repository, or publisher pipeline.
