Abstract
This document describes best practice recipes for publishing vocabularies or ontologies on the Web (in RDF Schema or OWL). The features of each recipe are described in detail, so that vocabulary designers may choose the recipe best suited to their needs. Each recipe introduces general principles and an example configuration for use with an Apache HTTP server (which may be adapted to other environments). The recipes are all designed to be consistent with the architecture of the Web as currently specified, although the associated example configurations have been kept intentionally simple.
1. Introduction
This document is intended for the creators and maintainers of vocabularies in RDFS and OWL (vocabulary and ontology are used interchangeably in the context of this specification). It provides step-by-step instructions for publishing vocabularies on the Web, giving example configurations designed to cover the most common cases. For more information about RDFS and OWL see [RDFS, RDFPrimer, OWLGuide, OWLFeatures].
This “cookbook” gives “recipes” describing the steps needed to publish a vocabulary on a Web server, and to configure the Web server to support Semantic Web applications. The section “Choosing a recipe” provides guidance for choosing the most appropriate recipe depending on the situation and requirements. Once the recipe has been chosen, the reader can follow the steps, adapting the examples for a particular vocabulary.
All of the recipes give example configurations for the Apache HTTP server [APACHE20]. For those not already familiar with Apache configuration, the appendix on Apache configuration provides a short introduction to the Apache configuration mechanisms used in the examples and basic information on troubleshooting.
While the provided configuration examples are specific to an Apache HTTP server, the general principles apply to non-Apache environments as well. The Working Group invites contributions of additional bindings for non-Apache servers. The W3C has provided a wiki page to collect these non-Apache bindings and recommendations.
This document is primarily intended for creators and maintainers of existing vocabularies who are looking for guidance on how their vocabularies should best be published on the Web. It is not intended to provide detailed and exhaustive guidance on choosing an appropriate URI namespace for naming a new vocabulary and its constituent terms. However, some basic technical information about URI namespaces, including some considerations relevant to choosing a URI namespace for a vocabulary, is given in the section on URI namespaces.
