High-level Strategy for rdf-vocabularies

[l00mi]

Requirements

• Opinionated list of prefixes, and namespaces independently available.
• Opinionated list of snapshotted ntriple dumps, and their definition how it was fetched on their (original) source.
• Optional (added) metadata on the used meta-ontology and its used annotations (rdfs:label vs. schema:name). (RDFS/OWL etc.)

JS Requirements

• Opinionated map of prefixes, and namespaces independently available.
• Opinionated list of snapshotted transformed to RDF/JS quads.
• Defined package structure / define ontologies in a NPM package.

Implementation

• Ontology package -> annotation (prefix, how to get it) -> tiny (<5kb) (as Turtle) [authorative source]

  • updates JS prefix map (transformation)
  • publishes a NPM package with the JS prefix maps

• Snapshots package -> uses the Ontology package

  • fetches (on the web) the snapshotted ntriple dumps (gzipped)
  • publishes a NPM package with the RDF-JS quads versions (only)
    • define an interface that covers the quads and metadata for external people to create compatible ontology packages
