Vocabularies
Service Offering
KurrawongAI has extensive experience in creating Knowledge Graph (SKOS)-based vocabularies, also known as taxonomies, to classify data and objects with.
Many of our vocabulary system establishment projects see us creating vocabularies for clients and then training them to create their own and to govern them (see Data Governance).
Case Study
Vocabulary system establishment for South Australia’s Department for Energy and Mining
This is an example of a common government vocabulary establishment
project.
We took Excel spreadsheets of 6 vocabularies of dataset classification terms created by the Department and converted them into SKOS vocabularies.
We also then created 5 other SKOS vocabularies ourselves: several based on external vocabularies, one or two from scratch.
We then created an extension of the VocPub Profile’s vocabulary metadata to publish these 11 vocabularies with extended derivation and governance information.
Finally we established a Prez instance, branded for the Department, that published their vocabularies in both human- and machine-readable form for use by their staff, industry and cataloguing systems.
Use is on-going.
