GeoVocab.org

Specification

There is a specification available online, describing all vocabulary terms marked "testing".

Vocabularies

• http://geovocab.org/geometry# geometry vocabulary (RDF/XML, Turtle)
• http://geovocab.org/spatial# spatial vocabulary (RDF/XML, Turtle)

Getting Started

The basic classes are spatial:Feature and geom:Geometry, connected via the geom:geometry property.

@prefix geom: <http://geovocab.org/geometry#> .
@prefix spatial: <http://geovocab.org/spatial#> .
@prefix dbpedia: <http://dbpedia.org/resource/> .

dbpedia:Karlsruhe a spatial:Feature .
dbpedia:Karlsruhe geom:geometry <http://example.org/kageo> .
<http://example.org/kageo> a geom:Geometry .
dbpedia:Karlsruhe spatial:P dbpedia:Germany .

The URI http://example.org/kageo then describes the geometry. The vocabulary supports arbitrary syntaxes for describing geometries via content negotiation.

Datasets

We provide a couple of reference datasets which demonstrate the use of the NeoGeo vocabulary.

• GADM: Global Administrative Areas
• NUTS: EU's Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics

In addition, several publishers plan to use NeoGeo.

• LinkedGeoData
• GeoLinkedData.es
