RE: Question: What is Best Practice for a Catalog of ConceptScheme mapping

Thanks for the suggestion Vladimir.

 

As I understand it, EDOAL is an alignment specification format.

It details the alignment between instances of 2 vocabularies.

EDOAL is a powerful formalism at this level.

The specification can be applied and the application result could be expressed in owl:sameAs or in SKOS mapping or otherwise.

 

What I am seeking best practice on is on how to publish the alignment specification or the result of an alignment application.

DCAT is not very formal about detailing the alignment characteristics: 

- the matched vocabularies

- the alignment vocabulary (EDOAL alignemnt specification, skos:mapping properties, ...)

 

Imagine:

- some agency published a mapping between AGROVOC and EUROVOC (maybe using EDOAL) and resulting in SKOS mapping properties

- another mapping details the alignment between ELI (1) on one hand and DCMI (2) on the other hand resulting in equivalent properties

What would be the publishing vocabulary (my request suggested VoID) to publish this alignment work?

 

Imagine I have 2 sets of annotated document resources,

- one set is classified with AGROVOC + annotations from dublin core (2) and from bibo (3) ontology.

- the another set is classified EUROVOC + annotations from the ELI specification 

It would be interesting to find results of alignments published in catalog.

And agent could then select the available alignments depending on the alignment characteristics it needs and understands.

This can be used to make relations between the documents in the two sets.

 

Kind Regards,
