Title
VocPub Profile
Is Profile of
SKOS
Definition

This is a profile of the taxonomy data model SKOS - i.e. SKOS with additional constraints. It defines some compulsory properties for SKOS's ConceptScheme, Concept and Collection classes and ensures that certain relationships between them are present, e.g. topConceptOf & inScheme linking Concepts to ConceptSchemes. It also requires goes a bit beyond 'pure' SKOS by ensuring that Concepts indicate the ConceptScheme they are defined in, which may be different to the ConceptScheme they re presented in. This allows VocPub-valid SKOS Concepts to be re-used in multiple of vocabularies efficiently.

This profile is used for multiple Australian government and international vocabularies and is entirely generic, i.e. the additional constraints are not Australian or government-specific but just ensure certain technical model capabilities in the data.
