Subject: Re: [rda-dft-wg][rda-geospatial-ig] INSPIRE Registry: RDF representation now supported
(Apologies for cross-posting)
Dear colleagues,
The INSPIRE Registry is a service giving access to INSPIRE semantic assets (e.g., application schemas, meta/data codelists, themes), and assigning to each of them a persistent URI. As such, this service can be considered also as a metadata directory/catalogue for INSPIRE, as well as a registry for the INSPIRE "terminology".
Starting from June 2013, when the INSPIRE Registry was first published, a number of version have been released, implementing new features based on the community's feedback.
Now, recently, a new version of the INSPIRE Registry (v4) has been published, which, among other features, makes available its content also in RDF/XML:
http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/registry/
The RDF representation currently adopted is documented at:
https://ies-svn.jrc.ec.europa.eu/projects/registry-development/wiki/RDF_format
The plan is to revise and or extend it based on feedback. Comments can be submitted directly from the INSPIRE Registry pages, by using the feedback tool (it can be activated by clicking on the "balloon" tab on the right side of the page).
Future work includes:
- Support to other RDF serialisations (in particular, Turtle and JSON-LD)
- Deployment of a SPARQL endpoint
Looking forward to receiving your inputs,
Best,
Andrea
