Schema.RDFS.org

This is a project to provide an RDF(S) version of Schema.org terms, including tools, examples and mappings to benefit from data that uses Schema.org terms. Currently, we have the following sub-projects (in descending order of maturity):

• Generating variants
• Schema.org gateway
• Examples
• Mappings

Sub-projects

Over time, a number of sub-projects of Schema.RDFS.org emerged, introduced in the following. Have a look at the respective directories for more details.

Generating variants

This Schema.RDFS.org sub-project deals with generating structured representations for Schema.org terms through the natural language definition found in Schema.org.

Schema.org gateway

This Schema.RDFS.org sub-projec develops the Schema.org gateway, a anything-to-anything data format converter, based on the Lingua Franca pattern.

Examples

This Schema.RDFS.org sub-project collects Schema.org examples in all kinds of markup and data formats, incl. RDFa, CSV, JSON etc.

Mappings

This Schema.RDFS.org sub-project collects mappings to Schema.org terms from widely deployed Linked Data vocabularies such as Dublin Core, FOAF, GoodRelations, SIOC, DBpedia ontology, etc.

Who is behind this?

Led by Michael and Richard of the Linked Data Research Centre, DERI the Schema.RDFS.org project is officially endorsed and supported by the EC FP7 LOD-Around-The-Clock Support Action (LATC). Many people from the Linked Data domain, Web of Data domain and other communities (SEO, library, archives, etc.) are contributing and have been delivering valuable input.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask Michael, either via michael.hausenblas AT gmail.com or via Twitter where he listens to @mhausenblas or drop by at the #swig channel on Freenode/IRC.

Roadmap and Ideas

• Community
  • get communities involved and give them a sense of ownership (ML, Twitter, here, etc.)
  • feedback on a Wiki, issue tracker, etc. (?)
• Generating variants
  • multi-lang labels/comments
• Schema.org gateway
  • http://bibutils.refbase.org/ extensions and collaboration
• Examples
  • collect from snippets in the wild
  • create based on existing examples
• Mappings
  • multi-lang suggestions into a Google spreadsheet?
  • ask vocab stake-holders to provide pointers to their mapping (Michael: FOAF, DC, GR)
