PUBLIC MARKS with tags SKOS & rdf

The New York Times has published 5,000 people subject headings as linked open data under a CC BY license. We provide both RDF documents and a human-friendly HTML versions.

The point of this exercise was mainly to show how thinking of the New York Times Topics as a controlled vocabulary, that can be serialized as a file, and still present on the Web, could be useful.

Sketch of the RDF/OWL/SKOS technology landscape for describing topics.

This ontology aims at providing a simple vocabulary for describing programmes. It covers brands, series (seasons), episodes, broadcast events, broadcast services, etc. Its development was funded by the BBC, and is heavily grounded on previous programmes data modelling work done there. This documentation page is a first draft. All feedback on either the ontology or this page is welcomed! Feel free to email the authors mentioned aboved. The design and layout of this ontology document is based on the Music Ontology and FOAF Vocabulary specification documents, and was generated using the following hand-tuned onto_spec.pl SWI-Prolog script and HTML templates.
