Semantic artefacts should be serialized in the formats developed in the context of the Semantic Web and Linked Data i.e. OWL, OBO, RDF, SKOS. Semantic repositories should provide a Linked Data compliant API to enable the creation of a semantic graph for analysis and reuse.

A good practice should be to share a simplified serialization of the model to provide at least access to the concepts/terms. In P-Rec. 11, we are recommending to define a common serialization to describe complex logical relations.
By default, a semantic artefact is stored in a file using a dedicated syntax (RDF/XML, Turttle, JSON-LD) and a language representation (OWL, SKOS, RDFS, OBO). A semantic artefact may have different levels of formality (e.g., ontology, terminology, thesaurus, vocabulary, etc. cf. NKOS types vocabularies).
In AgroPortal, the level of formality of a semantic resource is expressed with the property omv:hasFormalityLevel.
NVS is published in LinkedData using SKOS and other ontology properties (e.g Dublic Core, PAV, OWL) providing different serializations like RDF/XML, turtle, NTriples, json-LD
Description
Semantic artefacts should be serialized in the formats developed in the context of the Semantic Web and Linked Data i.e. OWL, OBO, RDF, SKOS.

In P-Rec. 11, we are recommending to define a common serialization to describe complex logical relations.
Existing recommendations:
● RDF and RDFS[32]
● W3C-OWL (OWL 2 / Full; OWL 2 / EL; OWL 2 / QL; OWL 2 / RL) stack[33]
● SKOS[34]
● The OBO Foundry Principle 2 “Common Format” requires the OWL file in RDF-XML format. Legacy formats are automatically converted to OWL.[35]
● Industry Ontology Foundry - requirement 3[36]
● OBO
● Linked Data Platform

Which standards? Citation? OWL 2 full seems pretty robust.
Not sure why OWL has the W3C prefix but RDF, RDFS, and SKOS do not.
