Generating RDF

You can represent archival text files in a corpus as RDF statements equivalent under the OHCO2 model of citable texts.

RDF verbs

hocuspocus uses RDF verbs from four vocabularies:

• the RDF Concepts vocabulary (http://www.homermultitext.org/hmt/rdf/, abbreivated rdf)
• the Dublin Core Metdata vocabulary (http://purl.org/dc/terms/, abbreviated dc)
• the Canonical Text Services vocabulary (http://www.homermultitext.org/cts/rdf/, abbreviated cts)
• the Homer Multitext project vocabulary (http://www.homermultitext.org/hmt/rdf/, abbreviated hmt).

RDF Concepts

CTS textgroups, works, versions and exemplars are classified with the rdf:type verb; the predicate is one of cts:TextGroup, cts:Work, cts:Edition, cts:Translation or cts:Exemplar.

CTS textgroups, works, versions, exemplars and citable nodes of text are labelled using the rdf:label verb and a String predicate.

Dublin Core

Titles of CTS textgroups, works, versions and exemplars are identified with dc:title verbs.

Canonical Text Services

Twelve verbs in the cts namespace are used (with specification of semantics TBA here):

• cts:abbreviatedBy
• cts:belongsTo
• cts:citationDepth
• cts:containedBy
• cts:contains
• cts:hasSequence
• cts:hasTextContent
• cts:lang
• cts:next
• cts:possesses
• cts:prev
• cts:translationLang
• cts:xmlns

Homer Multitext project

Two verbs from the hmt namespace describe information used internally in this implementation in the conversion of canonically citable texts to and from XML serializations (TBA):

• hmt:xmlOpen
• hmt:xpTemplate
