RFC: DiSSCo Terms and Vocabularies Implementation strategy

[sharifX]

A new Request for Comments (RFC) outlining the DiSSCo Vocabulary Implementation Plan. This RFC proposes a dedicated vocabulary server for DiSSCo-specific terms and controlled vocabularies, treating them as FAIR Digital Objects (FDOs).

Key points:

1. We propose using Handle PIDs for each term, rather than the more familiar IRIs and CURIEs typically used in RDF/JSON-LD vocabulary implementations. This approach aligns with our FDO strategy and enhances persistence and resolvability. However, we're also keeping in mind the readability, existing CURIE usage practices, and common JSON-LD parsing and semantic validation.
2. The RFC focuses on the process of implementing and serving these terms, not on the terms themselves.
