I would like to make available as Linked Data several databases describing several million non-profits, NGO's and foundations. The data includes things like name of organization, address, budget, source of funds, major programs, key personnel, relationships to other organizations, area of expertise, etc. What I don't have is an RDF vocabulary with which to describe these things. While I could define one myself, I would like to base my work on existing standards," or common practice, however, seemingly endless digging through the web indicates that there aren't any obvious "standards" for describing even basic things like address in RDF. Perhaps, I'm looking in the wrong places... Ideally, I would find some well formed vocabulary for a "Business Description" that I could use or adapt. I would appreciate it if anyone could give me pointers to either such a well worked vocabulary or at least to smaller vocabularies for things like address that I could use in composing a vocabulary with which to publish this data. Can you help? bob wyman
