Hi folks,

I’m now at Taronga Zoo and can rejoin and give an update!

The next vocabulary I’ll be working with is Keyword AAA which is a thesaurus of business functions created by State Records NSW in 1998. It needs to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century as a metadata standard.

Looking forward to hearing your updates too.

Hi Barbara,

Yes, KAAA is a well-known vocab and it's probably been turned into a modern Semantic Web vocabulary several times - I did a conversion back in 2020 - but always unofficially and never published by the owners - NSW Records.

So the challenge here is to get NSW Records to see value in delivering it in modern, machine-readable, format they may not do this if they derive revenue from selling access to it.

I'm happy to provide the conversion work I did at if that's at all useful.

Cheers, Nick

Thanks Nick that would be fantastic! I was wondering why they hadn’t published something more up to date.

We’ll need the semantic version for our Dataverse / Datasphere modelling.

Hi Barbara,

Looking back over my old files, I can't fine KAAA as a SKOS vocabulary... so I've re-converted it for you!


You will fine the RDF file there and also the conversion code I whipped up for it.

It's easy enough to add more details if any elements of KAAA that you require have been missed in the conversion given that the conversion code is very simple.

Cheers,  Nick
