Data Model for Land Portal (exposed as LOD)

Introduction

The Land Library Data Model follows widely adopted standards for bibliographic resources or more broadly "document-like information objects" (DLIOs).

The model is designed on top of the following existing vocabularies:
  • Dublin Core for properties common to most resources
  • The Bibliographic Ontology for more specialized properties for bibliographic resources
  • The FOAF vocabulary for properties of entities like persons and organizations
  • The Schema.org vocabulary for properties of all relevant entities (creative works, persons, organizations, events, places)
  • The SKOS vocabulary for all related concepts 
The model also uses a few additional properties from subsidiary or broader vocabularies: Prov-O for indicating provenance and the Europeana Data Model for compatibility with Europeana.

The result is in line with the recommendations of the AIMS LODE-BD (Recommendations for LOD-enabled Bibliographic Description).
