Vocabulary for data management platform

This vocabulary uses SiOC as a starting point, and focuses on terminology intended to be used directly by the data management platform. Additional (meta)data about any element may be added using appropriate vocabularies.

The following table and sections are automatically generated from source data maintained in spreadsheet form; the same source will also be used to generate an OWL/RDFS description of the new terms introduced here. Term definitions taken from existing vocabularies are lighter than new definitions introduced here.
