Library of volcabularies???

[McGibbney, Lewis John]

Hi Everyone,

A slightly off topic discussion here, but I am curious to pick some brains regarding an on-line resource which lists vocabularies we can use when creating RDF datasets. Usual ones we know are SKOS, FOAF etc etc etc.

It's something which I have not come across, have really wanted, and was wondering if such a resource existed?

Any thoughts?

Thank you
Lewis

there are several vocabulary registries.

There's Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV) [1], and our own vocab.cc [2] service
which gives basic stats and search functionality over classes and properties
derived from the Billion Triple Challenge data set.

Best regards,
Andreas.

I think the best resource is VOAF (Vocabulary of a Friend),
http://labs.mondeca.com/vocab/voaf/index.html and the joined LOV
datasets, http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov/index.html (there is a
SPARQL endpoint, and a CKAN entry).

Yes, see above.

Not a vocabulary search per se, but Schemapedia provides a way
todiscover ways to model different kinds of data:
