As a relative newcomer to LOD (first post here), I have a very basic question: How to link from an object specified in RDF to a Companies House URI for data about a particular registered company? Suppose, for example that I have a class, my:Thing, and that some of these Things are also registered companies. I want to provide a link from an instance of my:Thing to the data held by Companies House. Let's suppose that the Companies House URI is http://business.data.gov.uk/id/company/08209948. Is there an existing predicate that I can simply add to my resource description? Like this: my:object a my:Thing . my:object predicate <http://business.data.gov.uk/id/company/08209948> . Or do I need to modify the definition of the my:Thing class in order to provide this link? If so how? An extra requirement is that I don't want the mechanism to be UK-specific. I see from the Companies House data model (http://business.data.gov.uk/companies/docs/data-model-reference.html) that it uses the Registered Organization Vocabulary (https://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-regorg/) which is not UK-specific. In particular: http://business.data.gov.uk/companies/def/terms/RegisteredCompany rdfs:subClassOf http://www.w3.org/ns/regorg#RegisteredOrganization So I'm hoping that there's a straightforward way for the linkage mechanism to work without it being UK-specific. In case it is relevant, my:Thing is actually http://purl.org/solidarityeconomics/experimental/essglobal/vocab/SSEInitiative .. -- Matt Wallis Institute for Solidarity Economics http://www.solidarityeconomics.org
