BP-Rec. 5: Define workflows between different formats

Description

Semantic artefact can be serialized in various formats (SKOS, RDF, OWL, XML, …). This diversity of format makes it complicated to integrate and work with heterogeneous semantic artefacts. Practitioners should describe the particular workflow they used to convert the semantic artefact from one format to another. These workflows could be defined using machine readable mappings.

Existing recommendations : N/A

Stakeholder: Practitioner, Community

Specifically, use of the PROV ontology to describe the provenance of semantic artefacts is a valid BP.

see #15

These can reference "workflow" components such as transformations, which should clearly identify both the Agent and configurations (such as machine readable mappings) - with version designations. Prov combined with Linked Data (FAIR) publication of the entities involved provides sufficient flexibility to meet this requirement, however registers of such things may have benefits for Reuse and supporting adoption of FAIR principles.
