FSDF Backbone Model Profile

Description

This is a Profile of multiple Standards which acts as the conformance target for data wishing to conform to the FSDF Supermodel (https://linked.data.gov.au/def/supermodel). The Standards profiled are the Data Catalog Vocabulary (DCAT), GeoSPARQL 1.1, the Data Cube Vocabulary, the Sensor, Observation, Sample, and Actuator (SOSA) Ontology and the Vocabularies Publication Profile of SKOS (VocPub).

This Profile provides both an articulation of a series of Requirements above and beyond those Standards profiled in its Specification document and several Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) validators for the automated validation of RDF data against those Requirements and those inherited from the Standards profiles.

1. Introduction

This is a Profile, that is a Standard that constrains other Standards. It profiles multiple Standards and acts as the conformance target for data wishing to conform to the FSDF Supermodel. The Standards profiled are listed below.

This Profile is available in human- and machine-readable forms with the machine-readable form being in the RDF Turtle format and online at:

2. Profile Of

This Profile is a Profile of the following Standards:

The domains of these Standards is explained in the FSDF Supermodel’s Background Models Section.

3. Profile Resources

This Profile consists of a number of Resources which are listed below. Any Standards that the Resources conform to, the Roles they play in this Profile, and their formats are also given. Roles are taken from the Profiles Vocabulary’s Resource Role Instances Vocabulary.

Table 1. Profile Resources
Resource	Description	Role	Conforms To	Format
Specification	The normative listing of Requirements for data wishing to conform to this Profile	Specification		HTML
Validator	The Shapes Constraint Language file storing validation rules to assess RDF data against this Profile’s Specification’s Requirements	Validation	SHACL	RDF Turtle
Compounded Validator	A SHACL file storing the content of this Profile’s Validator as well as validators for all the Standards that this Profile profiles	Validation	SHACL	RDF Turtle
Code Repository	The online version control repository storing this Profile’s content	Repository	Git
Sandgate Example Dataset	An example valid Dataset with FeatureCollections containing Features with Geometries	Example	FSDF Backbone Model Profile	RDF Turtle

Note

Individual validators for the Standards that this Profile profiles are listed in the Backbone Model > Validation section of the FSDF Supermodel. Also given there are details of how this Profile’s validator and some of those profiled Standards' validators are pre-loaded into online validation tooling.
