Both EPCIS and CBV need an owl:Ontology node with some metadata, eg

epcis: a owl:Ontology;
  rdfs:label "EPCIS Ontology";
  rdfs:comment """The Electronic Product Code Information System (EPCIS) is a specification for capturing and exchanging event visibility data across the global logistics chain.
Version 2.0 is a major release that adds JSON, JSONLD and RDF payload formats, sensor reports, and other major features.""";
  dct:creator <https://gs1.org/>;
  dct:publisher <https://gs1.org/>;
  dct:contributor ...
  dct:created  "2021-06-01"^^xsd:dateTime;
  dct:modified "2021-06-05"^^xsd:dateTime;
  dct:issued   "2021-06-05"^^xsd:dateTime;
  owl:versionInfo "2.0";
  vann:preferredNamespaceUri "https://ns.gs1.org/epcis/";
  vann:preferredNamespacePrefix "epcis".

<https://gs1.org/> a schema:Organization;
  schema:name "GS1";
  schema:description "GS1 is an international organization that sets the global standards in transport and logistics".

cbv: a owl:Ontology;
  ...

We should register the prefixes at http://prefix.cc, see http://prefix.cc/gs1,epcis,cbv.ttl. This allows turtle and sparql editors (eg YasGUI) to auto-insert them.

• gs1 is already there
• I added cbv
• Need to add epcis because "Thanks for your contribution. You can add more namespaces tomorrow"

Agreed - we've done that for the GS1 Web vocabulary - I need to do that for the JSON-LD ontology files for EPCIS and CBV.

Thanks for adding to prefix.cc/cbv - and for correctly using https://ns.gs1.org/cbv/ rather than my preview site while it's under development. I'd probably have waited until it's actually live at ns.gs1.org - but it's probably not a problem and makes sense to reserve those CURIE prefixes before somebody else does, so I've just added that one now

[VladimirAlexiev]

Thanks! Just registering there doesn't mean it's announced and people will start clicking on these URLs.

@mgh128 I think epcis: should use https, right?

http://prefix.cc/gs1,epcis,cbv.sparql shows it uses http. I submitted a variant with https: please vote for the correct variant at http://prefix.cc/epcis

[VladimirAlexiev]

I've edited the metadata block.

@mgh128 @CraigRe Please:

• Provide an overall rdfs:comment for each of EPCIS and CBV
• decide dct:created (eg end of June), whereas dct:modified=dct:issued will need to be adjusted to the actual release date
• See if you agree with creator=publisher
• Decide about contributor: can we list individual contributors there?
• Assign to @mkotoff to implement
• go to http://prefix.cc/gs1 and vote for https://gs1.org/voc/ that I just entered (someone entered it wrongly as http).
