Introduction

Context

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

Revision history

Issue https://github.com/SEMICeu/StatDCAT-AP/issues/3 has to addressed!
In STAT DCAT-AP document the namespace mentioned in the pdf document is a temporary one http://data.europa.eu/(xyz)/statdcat-ap/. But in the ttl the Core Vocabularies namespace is used. See https://github.com/SEMICeu/StatDCAT-AP/blob/master/Release%201.0.1/StatDCAT-AP_1.0.1.ttl#L293.
Proposal is to move it to this namespace as it was the intention and mentioned in the issue #3.

The domain is set to rdfs:Resource while these properties are only meaningful with DCAT ecosystem. Suggestion to change the domain to dcat:Resource. The problem is that dcat:Distribution not a subclass is from dcat:Resource. That would possibly limit the reuse.

Abstract

The STAT DCAT-AP vocabulary supports the STAT DCAT-AP profile. The namespace for this vocabulary is http://data.europa.eu/s1n/ . 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/s1n/ .

Properties

This section lists the properties matching the base namespace of this vocabulary.

attribute

	Property	attribute
	URI	http://data.europa.eu/s1n/attribute
	label	attribute
	definition	a component used to qualify and interpret observed values, e.g. units of measure, any scaling factors and metadata such as the status of the observation (e.g. estimated, provisional). Attribute is a conceptual entity that applies to all distribution formats, e.g. in case a dataset is provided both in SDMX and in DataCube.
	domain	http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#Resource
	range	http://purl.org/linked-data/cube#AttributeProperty

dimension

	Property	dimension
	URI	http://data.europa.eu/s1n/dimension
	label	dimension
	definition	a component that identifies observations, e.g. the time to which the observation applies , or a geographic region which the observation covers. Dimension is a conceptual entity that applies to all distribution formats, e.g. in case a dataset is provided both in SDMX and in DataCube.
	domain	http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#Resource
	range	http://purl.org/linked-data/cube#DimensionProperty

number of data series

	Property	number of data series
	URI	http://data.europa.eu/s1n/numSeries
	label	number of data series
	definition	number of data series contained in the dataset
	domain	http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#Resource

unit of measurement

	Property	unit of measurement
	URI	http://data.europa.eu/s1n/statUnitMeasure
	label	unit of measurement
	definition	a unit of measurement of the observations in the dataset, for example Euro, square kilometre, purchasing power standard (PPS), full-time equivalent, percentage. Unit of measurement is a conceptual entity that applies to all distribution formats, e.g. in the case when a dataset is provided both in SDMX and in Data Cube.
	domain	http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#Resource
