[ANN] COLID - Linked Data conform Enteprise Data Catalog

Dear Semantic Web Community,

I am happy to announce the publishing of our internally developed Enterprise Data Catalog that is fully Linked Data conform – COLID !

(Yes, the name was inspired by SOLID 😊 )

Corporate Linked Data - short: COLID - is a technical solution for corporate environments that provides a metadata repository for corporate assets based upon semantic models. COLID assigns URIs as persistent and global unique identifiers to any resource. The incorporated network proxy ensures that these URIs are resolvable and can be used to directly access those assets. By following the Linked Data principles consequently, the data model of COLID uses RDF and provides the content through a SPARQL endpoint to consumers. This model was developed based on learnings from open standards like dcat and prov-o. Being both a management system for resolvable identifier and an asset catalog, COLID is the core service to realize Linked Data in corporate environments and therefore an essential cornerstone for FAIR data.

Best regards,
