IGSN vocabs translated from XML codelists into SKOS vocabularies.
The XML codelists referenced are in GitHub:
There is a single vocabulary (a single skos:ConceptScheme) per RDF (turtle) file in the top-level of this repository. The vocabularies are:
- Access Type
- Collection Type
- Contributor Type
- Feature Type
- Geometry Type
- Identifier Type
- Material Type
- Method Type
- Registration Type
- Relation Type
- Resource Type
- Sample Type
- SRID Type
The only significant content change between these individual vocabularies and the original (see below) is the addition of unknown terms to each list except Registration Type. This is to allow use of these vocabs where a term must be selected but where the value is unknown.
The OGC nill types -> unknown is used for "unknown" in all cases excpet for those list that already had an unknown value, such as Sample Type which already had theSpecimenTypeIsUnknown.
Some supporting information is contained in the extras/ folder, such as a copy of the original Geoscience Australia SKOS version of these vocabularies.
