Fwd: DCAT, Data Cube Vocabulary, and Organization Ontology are W3C Recommendations

Manu,

based on our rules for the RDFa initial context, we have to add these three to the list. Which I will do. Two things around that:

- I will announce the change on this list, as well as the public rdfa list; Gregg, do you have a list of at least those implementers who gave us their test runs to notify them to update their implementations (I will of course do it for mine:-)
- Markus, should I go ahead and modify the JSON-LD context file on the W3C site? I am not sure who manages that file's source

Cheers

Ivan

> Data Catalog Vocabulary (DCAT)
> 
> DCAT is an RDF vocabulary designed to facilitate interoperability
> between data catalogs published on the Web. This document defines the
> schema and provides examples for its use.
> 
> By using DCAT to describe datasets in data catalogs, publishers
> increase discoverability and enable applications easily to consume
> metadata from multiple catalogs. It further enables decentralized
> publishing of catalogs and facilitates federated dataset search across
> sites. Aggregated DCAT metadata can serve as a manifest file to
> facilitate digital preservation.
> 
> 
> 
> The RDF Data Cube Vocabulary
> 
> There are many situations where it would be useful to be able to
> publish multi-dimensional data, such as statistics, on the web in such
> a way that it can be linked to related data sets and concepts. The
> Data Cube vocabulary provides a means to do this using the W3C RDF
> (Resource Description Framework) standard. The model underpinning the
> Data Cube vocabulary is compatible with the cube model that underlies
> SDMX (Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange), an ISO standard for
> exchanging and sharing statistical data and metadata among
> organizations. The Data Cube vocabulary is a core foundation which
> supports extension vocabularies to enable publication of other aspects
> of statistical data flows or other multi-dimensional data sets.
> 
> The namespace for all terms in this ontology is:
> http://purl.org/linked-data/cube#
> 
> 
> 
> The Organization Ontology
> 
> This document describes a core ontology for organizational structures,
> aimed at supporting linked data publishing of organizational
> information across a number of domains. It is designed to allow
> domain-specific extensions to add classification of organizations and
> roles, as well as extensions to support neighbouring information such
> as organizational activities.
> 
> The namespace for all terms in this ontology is: http://www.w3.org/ns/org#
