Vocabulary consists of many VocabularyTerms. They are used to control the Terms in a Property field. So for example, you want to add a property called **Animal** to a Sample and you want to control which terms are used in this Property. For this you need to do a couple of steps:
1. create a new vocabulary *AnimalVocabulary*
2. add terms to that vocabulary: *Cat, Dog, Mouse*
3. create a new PropertyType (e.g. *Animal*) of DataType *CONTROLLEDVOCABULARY* and assign the *AnimalVocabulary* to it
4. create a new SampleType (e.g. *Pet*) and *assign* the created PropertyType to that Sample type.
5. If you now create a new Sample of type *Pet* you will be able to add a property *Animal* to it which only accepts the terms *Cat, Dog* or *Mouse*.
