Ontology depiction back to ToC
The DataID core ontology is the central part of the DataID multi-layered metadata system. Its goal is to extensively describes datasets and their different manifestations in a uniform way, as well as relations with agents such as persons or organisations, in regard to their rights and responsibilities. Established vocabularies such as DCAT, VoID, Prov-O are used for maximum compatibility. We introduced a multilayer concept of supporting ontologies extending DataID core to fit different use case scenarios (for Linked Data, providing statistical data about datasets etc.). By describing datasets including content, authors, licenses and provenance via RDF, thereby making data accessible to others, is the basic idea of Linked Open Data and is your contribution to a universal data give and take. You can create your own DataID files for any type of data at http://dataid.dbpedia.org. Validating and delivering metadata files in a uniform way, as well as providing the ability to query for datasets, are main objectives of the DBpedia/DataID project.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#Agent
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#AgentRole
AgentRoles are defined by a set of rights and responsibilities (see AuthorizedAction) an Agent, assigned with this Role, has to address or can execute.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#Authorization
This concept is a mediator between a set of Entities (or scope) defined by the property dataid:authorizedFor, a set of AgentRoles defining rights and responsibilities (dataid:authorityAgentRole) and Agents (dataid:associatedAgent), fulfilling the AgentRoles, in regard to the collection of Entities. This subclass of prov:Attribution qualifies the relation prov:wasAttributedTo between prov:Entity and prov:Agent with the AgentRoles and AuthorizedActions of the DataID-domain.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#AuthorizedAction
AuthorizedActions may be comprised either of activities an Agent can execute in regard to a collection of Entities (dataid:EntitledAction), or of responsibilities an Agent should act upon (dataid:ResponsibleAction) (e.g. make certain decisions if necessary or act upon certain events).
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#DataId
The dataid:DataId class is the most generic entity in a DataID graph about one or more datasets. As a subclass of dcat:CatalogRecord / void:DatasetDescription it describes not a dataset itself but provides metadata about its entry in a dcat:Catalog and/or its relations to repositories or other data collections.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#Dataset
A collection of data, available for access in one or more formats. Dataset resources describe the concept of the dataset, not its manifestation (the data itself), which can be acquired as a Distribution. Datasets are prov:Entities and can be generated by prov:Activities.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#DatasetRelationRole
Provides the role of a dataid:DatasetRelationship (e.g. Linkset, Source, Derivate, Similarity etc.).
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#DatasetRelationship
Portrays a generic relation between two or more datasets.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#Directory
A dedicated file system directory holding (multiple) files of the same Dataset, which, when put together, make up the whole Dataset.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#Distribution
Distributions describe the technical details of a single manifestation of the pertaining Dataset (for example; its data format/serialisation or a ServiceEndpoint including the procedure required to access the data).
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#EntitledAction
EntitledActions describe actions an Agent is allowed to perform when holding a certain AgentRole. These Actions may address restricted matters like access, modification rights and others.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#FileCollection
Multiple files constituting one (complete) Dataset (files in different directories or servers are allowed, as opposed to Directory).
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#Identifier
Uniquely identifies any resource, given an identifier as literal (see dataid:literal) and a corresponding identifier scheme (e.g. a aid/pid scheme such as ORCID, ResearcherID etc. pointed out via datacite:usesIdentifierScheme). Optionally it can point out a reference document on the web (about this Identifier) using dct:references.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#MediaType
Extends the dct:MediaTypeOrExtend class of Dublin Core, providing the IANA media type description (or mime type) and common file extensions used. A pointer to an inner media (dataid:innerMediaType) can describe (multiple) layers of compressions and all internal media types.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#ResponsibleAction
AgentRoles provide rights as well as responsibilities an agent has to attend to in order to fulfil this Role. ResponsibleActions should describe actions pertaining to responsibilities an agent is supposed to do when holding a specific AgentRole.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#ServiceEndpoint
A specific Distribution, which is accessible via an access URL and provides data as a web service in a certain format.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#SimpleStatement
A SimpleStatement is intended as a tool for conveying a statement, definition or point of view about a certain topic. Using either a simple literal (using dataid:literal) to provide a quotation or by a referencing a web resource providing or representing the statement in any given medium (picture, text, video etc.). This class implements several classes of Dublin Core which is not further specified within DC.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#SingleFile
A single data dump file representing the whole Dataset, in a certain format/serialisation.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#Superset
This dedicated version of a dataid:Dataset has exacly one purpose: to point out all its Sub-Datsets with void:subset. A dataid:Superset has no data itself and is therefore prohibited to point out Distributions with dcat:distribution. It can be used in a dataset hierarchy (e.g. as a root dataset), or as a container for other datasets.
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#accessProcedure
Describes the steps which have to be taken to gain access to the described data at the location of a Distribution (e.g. register an account to gain dct:accessRights).
IRI: http://dataid.dbpedia.org/ns/core#allowsFor
