List of standards used by the Land Portal

Introduction

Following the best practices related to the publication and usage of data on the Web designed to help support a self-sustaining ecosystem, in this section it is covered the "Best Practice 15: Reuse vocabularies, preferably standardized ones". This practice says that "Use terms from shared vocabularies, preferably standardized ones, to encode data and metadata".

 

For data model

The statistical data model is designed on top of the following existing vocabularies:

  • Dublin Core for properties common to most resources
  • RDF Data Cube provides a means to publish multi-dimensional data, such as statistics, on the web in such a way that it can be linked to related data sets and concepts using RDF
  • Computex (Computing Statistical Indexes) can be seen as an extension of RDF Data Cube vocabulary to handle statistical indexes.
  • SDMX (Statistical Data and Metadata eXchange), an ISO standard for exchanging and sharing statistical data and metadata among organizations.
    • Computex Observation Status for "Observation status", codes obtained SDMX
  • The OWL-Time ontology is an ontology of temporal concepts, for describing the temporal properties of resources in the world
  • The Schema.org vocabulary for properties of all relevant entities (creative works, persons, organizations, events, places)
  • The SKOS vocabulary for all related concepts 

The bibliographic and content model is designed on top of the controlled vocabularies created by the Land Portal and 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 

 

For data storage

The model is designed on top of the following existing vocabularies:

and the controlled vocabularies and taxonomies created by the Land Portal, such as:

 

For information retrieval

Outside the Land Portal, our partners are using different standards to model and storage their data. For instance, some of this standards are:
