The Dataset Exchange Working Group has published today a First Public Working Draft of The Profiles Vocabulary. The Profiles Vocabulary is an RDF vocabulary created to allow the machine-readable description of profiles of specifications for information resources. It can be used to describe profile hierarchies wherein profiles of specifications may themselves have profiles indicated. It can also be used to link together multiple profile resources that make up a profile – guidelines, validation tools, schemas, term lists and so on – and it allows for those profile resources to be described with formats, roles, and digital artifacts.
The namespace for PROF terms is http://www.w3.org/ns/dx/prof/ .
The PROF vocabulary, defined in OWL and encoded in RDF Turtle, is available at prof.ttl .
Feedback is welcome via GitHub w3c/dx-prof.
