Data Specification Vocabulary (DSV)

This document defines a vocabulary (classes and properties) used in Data Specification Vocabulary Default Application Profile (DSV-DAP) for machine processable representation of Data Specifications and Application Profiles. DSV and DSV-DAP are created using Dataspecer, a tool for management of data specifications, management of application profiles and semi-automatic generation of technical artifacts such as data schemas and transformations based on semantic vocabularies.

Preferred prefix: dsv, stands for https://w3id.org/dsv#.

This specification and the specification of DSV-DAP are both described using DSV-DAP.

Classes

Application Profile

IRI	dsv:ApplicationProfile
Label	Application Profile
Definition	An Application Profile identifies classes and properties from vocabularies, and class profiles and property profiles from Application profiles that are re-used in a certain usage context. It also allows specification editors to further adjust the description of re-used classes and properties for that usage context without the need to explicitly create subclasses and subproperties.

Application Profile Specification Document

IRI	dsv:ApplicationProfileSpecificationDocument
Label	Application Profile Specification Document
Definition	An Application Profile Specification Document contains human-readable version of an Application Profile.
Subclass of	Resource Descriptor

Class Profile

IRI	dsv:ClassProfile
Label	Class Profile
Definition	Profile of a class. Allows specification editors to specify profile specific names, definitions and usage notes.
Subclass of	Term Profile

Datatype Property Profile

IRI	dsv:DatatypePropertyProfile
Label	Datatype Property Profile
Definition	Profile of a datatype property allows specification editors to specify profile-specific name, definition, usage note, domain, datatype, and cardinality.
Subclass of	Property Profile

Invalid Term Profile

IRI	dsv:InvalidTermProfile
Label	Invalid Term Profile
Definition	Invalid Term Profile is a profile, which breaks profile compliance rules. This may be for a good reason such as temporary, to be propagated upstream, inconsistency.
Subclass of	Term Profile

Object Property Profile

IRI	dsv:ObjectPropertyProfile
Label	Object Property Profile
Definition	Profile of an object property allows specification editors to specify profile-specific name, definition, usage note, domain, range, and cardinality.
Subclass of	Property Profile

Property Profile

IRI	dsv:PropertyProfile
Label	Property Profile
Definition	Profile of a property allows specification editors to specify profile specific name, definition, usage note, domain, range and cardinality.
Subclass of	Term Profile
Subclasses	Datatype Property Profile, Object Property Profile

Property Value Reuse

IRI	dsv:PropertyValueReuse
Label	Property Value Reuse
Definition	Specifies, which values of which properties of which resources are reused for the current Profile. E.g. reuse of profile name, reuse of class name, reuse of profile definition, reuse of profile usage note, etc.

Term Profile

IRI	dsv:TermProfile
Label	Term Profile
Definition	Term profile. Allows profile editors to specify context dependent information such as label, definition, usage note, cardinalities, etc. for Class profiles and Property profiles.
Subclasses	Class Profile, Property Profile, Invalid Term Profile

Vocabulary Specification Document

IRI	dsv:VocabularySpecificationDocument
