CLAVAS: vocabulary service
|
Introduction
CMDI 1.2 adds the ability to link external vocabularies to a Component Metadata profile. Currently the CLARIN Component Registry only supports vocabularies from CLAVAS! Vocabularies
Currently the following vocabularies are offered:
And the following vocabularies are being discussed or under construction:
Usage
In general interaction with CLAVAS will happen via the Component Registry. Metadata modellers can select a CLAVAS vocabulary as either an open or closed external vocabulary. In both cases the PID of the vocabulary will be registered with the selected element or attribute. In the case of an closed vocabulary the vocabulary items will be actually taken over in the component specification as the permissible values. The CLAVAS API can be used by an editor to help users in selecting a valid value for the metadata element or attribute. In the case a vocabulary is used as an open vocabulary no permissible values are stored in the component specification/. The CLAVAS API can now be used by an editor to help users by proposing values (from the vocabulary) for the metadata element or attribute. API
The two most interesting calls are currently:
See the OpenSKOS API documentation for other possibilities. Note: the URIs of ConceptSchemes (the vocabularies) and Concepts (the vocabulary items) are persistent, but other (OpenSKOS) classes, e.g., tenant, set and user, are not and might thus change anytime. Frequently Asked Questions
