The NERC Vocab Identifier represents an index into the NERC Vocabulary Server - http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/. Controlled lists and terms for NERC are managed via this service.
The Projects API uses NERC Vocab terms throughout it’s API and provides references into the vocab server. The list/code pair can be considered an unique identifier for a term.
The Projects API does not provide a lookup service for Vocab terms. This is provided by http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk
