Linked Data Review Board

Introduction

The Linked Data Review Board performs the following functions:
  • Establish Best Practices for the design and deployment of Linked Data technologies in Jazz products
  • Review RDF vocabularies and resource shapes that are used in Jazz products
  • Manage the URI space on jazz.net that is allocated for RDF vocabularies
  • Maintain a registry of assigned RDF vocabulary URIs
  • Implement the web infrastructure for publishing approved Jazz RDF vocabularies
  • Participates in or liaises with standards bodies to ensure compatibility and coherency

Note that this board does not own the OSLC namespaces, and cannot authorize any changes to OSLC vocabularies or shapes; such changes must be addressed through the OASIS workgroups.

Procedures

To register a new vocabulary or new shapes, update an existing vocabulary or shapes, you must first request a review using a work item. Attach any new or modified Turtle sources to the work item, and ask for a review from members of the Linked Data Review Board, listed under Contacts. HTML translations are not required for this review.

Once the work item has been approved, generate the HTML pages using the XSLT mentioned in Publishing RDF Vocabularies, or an equivalent. For updates to existing vocabularies or shapes, do not overwrite the existing jazz.net wiki page referenced from http://jazz.net/ns/namespace, but stage your work on a different page. Notify the Linked Data Review Board that you are ready for updates to the redirects at jazz.net.

Contacts

For vocabulary or shape work item reviews, or to request an update to the jazz.net/ns redirects, or to report a problem, contact:

The JRS team maintains a document defining what is needed in resource representations to be compatible with the Report Builder; contact Ernest Mac for a copy.

RDF Vocabulary Registries

Refer to Publishing RDF Vocabularies for instructions on how to publish RDF vocabularies as wiki pages on jazz.net.

Approved Jazz RDF vocabularies are listed in the following registries:

  • http://jazz.net/ns - This is the registry for all new RDF vocabularies. It uses hash-style naming for vocabulary term.
  • http://jazz.net/xmlns - This is a legacy registry. It uses slash-style naming for vocabulary terms.

Copyright and License

All published RDF vocabularies must contain a copyright statement based on the following template (fill in Year1 and, optionally, Year2):
