Introduction

Context

This vocabulary is supporting DCAT-AP, the DCAT application profile for European data portals [[DCAT-AP]]. The terms defined in this namespace are defined as broad as possible for wider reuse but are scoped to the needs of DCAT-AP. All terms in this vocabulary have therefore a strong connection with DCAT-AP.

Revision history

The property availability has been introduced in DCAT-AP release 2.x.

The creation of an annex of DCAT-AP for High Value Datasets, DCAT-AP HVD [[DCAT-AP-HVD]], introduced 2 new properties

Abstract

The DCAT-AP vocabulary supports the DCAT-AP profile. The namespace for this vocabulary is http://data.europa.eu/r5r/ . It is under maintenance by the SEMIC action, Interoperable Europe.

Conformance Statement

In order to conform to this vocabulary the usage of the terms MUST:

Be in line with the provided definitions
Satisfy the formal constraints such as domain and ranges restrictions, if present

When reusing the terms, the reuse principles of the SEMIC styleguide SHOULD be followed.

To make the properties widely reuseable the domain and ranges are usually very open. For any kind of entity, the class rdfs:Resource is used. For any kind of value, rdfs:Literal is used. In the RDF ecosystem these are the universal denominators.

Terminology

The namespace for this vocabulary is http://data.europa.eu/r5r/ .

Controlled Vocabularies

Today this controlled vocabulary is maintained by the EU Vocabularies as the Distribution availability vocabulary. The historic controlled vocabulary is deprecated. And therefore not anymore included in this document.
