Vocabulary & Ontology for Library Linked Data


The vocabulary list is reorganized from Linked Open Vocabulary ; W3C Incubator Group Report (2011); the Open Metadata Registry (formerly the NSDL Registry); and some others. Note that W3C report uses two types of grouping (i.e. Value Vocabularies and Metadata Element Sets ) which are similar to the Library Community who uses Controlled Vocabularies and Metadata Schemata for classification. The list below is grouped in two types: the new emerging developments for linked open data (LOD) as well as the traditional type in LAM (Library, Archive and Museum). Each main type has sub-types based on data resource type, i.e. General for GLAM, Library/bibliography (e.g. text based data mainly), and Cultural Heritage and Museum (e.g. audio, cartographic, images, cultural/museum objects, etc.)
