serialize all project vocabs in RDF #118

Open paregorios opened 8 years ago

paregorios commented 8 years ago

Most of our project vocabularies are presently only available as HTML. To get 5 stars, we really need to give them RDF instantiations. NB place types and time periods are already available in TTL via the RDF dumps. H/t @rybesh (https://twitter.com/rybesh/status/719710986966548480).

Can I make a plea for folding in some of the https://github.com/lawdi/LAWD vocabulary? A chunk of it was inspired by Pleiades in the first place, so it should be a good match.

rmhorne commented 8 years ago

I agree with @hcayless - the more we can use LAWD vocabulary, the better it is for everyone.
