IDN Vocabulary Data

This repository contains part of the data of the Indigenous Data Network (IDN)'s Knowledge Graph which is delivered online via the Prez system as a series of catalogues and reference datasets, such as spatial data collections and vocabularies.

The IDN Prez system is online at:

• https://data.idnau.org

IDN Catalogues and Datasets

The IDN is producing multiple systems and datasets:

1. Demonstration Catalogue of Australian datasets
   • With varying levels of indigenous relevance to demonstrate several aspects of indigenous data governance, sovereignty and how to even rate the "indigenous-ness" of data in the first place.
2. Agents Database
   • Containing information about Agents - People and Organisations - that have some relation to indigenous data
3. University of Melbourne’s Indigenous Data Catalogue
   • this is currently (May, 2023) empty but will fill shortly
4. Register of vocabularies
   • Multiple vocabularies, all assembled and some created, by the IDN that support modelling indigenous data
5. Indigenous spatial reference data
   • Indigenous language, land use, treaty and other areas
   • All from other sources, attributed in the data

Additionally, the IDN will support a catalogue of ANU's indigenous data underdevelopment by ANU’s First National Portfolio that’s not online yet.

This repository contains only some of those system’s data, see next.

This repository’s content

This repository contains:

• The vocabularies within the IDN’s Register of vocabularies
  • within data/vocabularies/
• Background ontologies used to provide labelling for Prez' data
  • within data/_background/

Stored elsewhere are:

• Agents Database content
  • some test data is stored here in but the Agents DB is building/storing its own data within it
  • see the AgentsDB data repository
• Indigenous spatial reference data
  • some of these datasets are large so their raw content isn’t directly available
  • see the repo https://github.com/idn-au/spatial-data for a listing of the datasets and instructions on how they are produced

(Meta)Data Models

The metadata of items in the Demonstration Catalogue and all other catalogues based on IDN work - the UoM IDCat and the ANU’s FNP’s future catalogue - use the IDN Catalogue Profile which is a data cataloguing standard based on [DCAT](https://w3id.org/idn/def/cp.

Agents data in the Agents Database are formulated according to the [Agents Governance Profile](https://w3id.org/idn/def/agp.
