Abstract

DVIA is an RDF vocabulary designed to facilitate interoperability between visualization applications published on the Web.

Status of the document

Work in progress.

Scope

DVIA is a small vocabulary aims at describing any applications developed to consume datasets in 4-5 stars, using visual tools to showcase the benefits of Linked Data.

It reuses some existing vocabularies such as Dublin Core terms, dataset catalogue (DCAT), Dublin Core Metadata Initiative and the Organization ontology.

Namespace

The URI for this vocabulary is

http://data.eurecom.fr/ontology/dvia#

When abbreviating terms the suggested prefix is dvia

Each class or property in the vocabulary has a URI constructed by appending a term name to the vocabulary URI. For example: http://data.eurecom.fr/ontology/dvia#Application

Example

This example shows the use of DVIA for the description of the application which won the Semantic Web Challenge at ISWC 2012, the EventMedia Live application.
