MSL vocabularies
About
This repository is used to store and provide access to the vocabularies used and maintained by the EPOS Multi-Scale Laboratories (MSL) community. The vocabularies are used at the EPOS Multi-Scale Labs data catalogue to improve findability of data publications. We encourage others to use and improve the provided vocabularies within this repository.
Vocabularies
We currently publish the following vocabularies:
- Analogue modelling of geological processes (referred to as "analogue")
- Geochemistry
- Geological age
- Geological setting
- Materials
- Microscopy and tomography (referred to as "microscopy")
- Paleomagnetism
- Pore fluids
- Rock and melt physics (referred to as "rockphysics")
Repository structure
Within the vocabularies folder all vocabularies are published in separate folders per vocabulary. Within the specific vocabulary folders a specific directory per version is published.
Formats
We currently provide 4 formats for publishing the vocabularies:
- Json (.json)
- Excel (.xlsx)
- turtle file (.ttl)
- rdfxml (.xml)
JSON
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format to provide easy access for (web)applications to use the data. The structure of the vocabularies are provided by including the child terms within its parent term. For each term the following are provided:
- uri; uri of term (Uniform Resource Identifier)
- vocab_uri; uri of vocabulary
- value; term
- label; label of term
- synonyms; array of synonyms
- children; child terms
Sample of data:
"uri": "https:\/\/epos-msl.uu.nl\/voc\/analoguemodelling\/1.0\/modeled_structure",
"vocab_uri": "https:\/\/epos-msl.uu.nl\/voc\/analoguemodelling\/1.0\/",
"value": "Modeled structure",
"label": "Modeled structure",
"synonyms": [],
"children": [

"vocab_uri": "https:\/\/epos-msl.uu.nl\/voc\/analoguemodelling\/1.0\/",
"value": "modelled magmatic structure",
"label": "modelled magmatic structure",
"synonyms": [],
"children": [
Excel
Excel exports are available in xlsx format.
Turtle
Vocabularies are also published in turtle (Terse RDF Triple Language) format. Triples currently contain term uri, label and relational information.

Rdf/xml
RDF/XML format published containing the same structural information as published within the turtle format.
