KOS Registry

Source files and script to aggregate information about knowledge organization schemes

This repository is used to aggregate information about knowledge organization schemes (KOS) relevant to project coli-conc.

Requirements

• jq
• some npm modules (run npm install)
• make

Sources

• kos.yml (a YAML file with information about concept schemes)
• DANTE API
• Wikidata

File registry.yaml further contains metadata about this KOS registry.

Usage

Calling npm run all will create the following files:

• kos.ndjson
• wikidata.ndjson
• dante.ndjson

It will also combine those files by merging overlapping concept schemes into all.ndjson. Conflicting values are ignored so information in kos.yaml has priority.

Call npm run validate to validate the files. See Makefile for individual conversion steps.
