DMP RDA-JSON-LD

A JSON-LD context and ontology rendering of the RDA DMP Common Standard, enabling DMP graphs to be expressed as linked data and merged with other research-information graphs.

Examples

Worked examples

  • Is an instance

    A DMP serialisation whose '@context' resolves to the published RDA Common Standard vocabulary and whose dataset entities are joinable to DataCite DOIs.

  • Is an instance

    A SPARQL query combining DMP graphs with funder-grant graphs.

Counter-examples

Looks similar, but isn't

  • Not an instance

    Plain RDA-CS JSON without a '@context' (still useful, but not linked-data).

  • Not an instance

    DCAT-AP (a different vocabulary for catalogues).

Editorial commentary

JSON-LD adds a '@context' that maps RDA Common Standard properties to IRIs in a published vocabulary, allowing DMP entities to be dereferenced and reasoned over with standard semantic-web tooling (SPARQL, SHACL). This supports use cases such as joining DMP datasets to the OpenAIRE Research Graph or to institutional CRIS knowledge graphs.
