Would you use an attestation of your contribution to SDM?

We are considering to officially provide an attestation of your contributions to SDM.

Before launching it officially we have created a drafted document for those contributors with a valid mail and name (there are people who do not want to disclose their contribution).

Accordingly, if you browse the database of contributors you will see a new column with the heading attestation and a download draft link.

By clicking on that link you can download the draft version of an attestation of your contribution.

We’ll be glad to receive your feedback on this initiative and the format and content of the attestation in the info@smartdatamodels.org address.

You can see an example below

attestation_alberto.abella@fiware.org_dataModel.Agrifood_2022

Simple but useful programs to interact with a broker in PHP

We have released two very simple programs to create an entity in a context broker and for removing an entity based on its id.

Although this is pretty straight forward, being coded in PHP allows you to integrate with, in example, in a WordPress site.

In fact these programs are working in the test Orion-LD broker option, located here at home -> tools -> test Orion-LD broker

The source code is available at the utils directory and the  data-models umbrella repository

create_broker_entity.php

remove_broker_entity.php

Test an Orion-LD broker populated with the SDM examples

In the tools menu there is a new option “Test Orion-LD broker“.
In this address https://smartdatamodels:1026 there is an Orion-LD Broker installed open for testing purposes. You can check

It is wiped out every hour, on minute 27, and then repopulated with some hundreds of examples (most of the current examples in data models).

Some examples of queries:

Distribution and Catalogue from STAT-DCAT-AP new data models published

The mapping of the STAT-DCAT-AP 1.0.1 ha been extended with the mapping of two new classes Distribution and Catalogue in the subject (subject is a group of data models).

Thanks to the collaboration with the project INTERSTAT these two models has been mapped.

  • Catalogue. Catalogue of datasets compliant with STAT-DCAT-AP 1.0.1 specification.
  • Distribution. This is a distribution belonging to a dataset according to the STAT-DCAT-AP standard 1.0.1

Their terms are already available in the @context of the subject.

New data model DataServiceRun. Candidate for extending DCAT-AP

The new data model, DataServiceRun, is included into the Smart Data Models’ subject DCAT-AP. Initially this subject maps all the contents of the standard DCAT-AP 2.0.1 but also, aligned with the agile standardization philosophy of the initiative, it extends exiting data models and hopefully would be submitted to the original standardization group for its adoption.

Also the data model DataService has also been extended with 3 additional attributes.

DataServiceRun. A representation of one specific run of a data service (e.g. DataService).
