RDF vocabularies must meet the following requirements:

  • All <skos:Concept> elements must contain at least one <skos:prefLabel> element.
  • Do not use <skos:inScheme> elements to define the hierarchy. Fluid Topics ignores them, so if an <skos:Concept> is a root in one scheme but has a parent in another, Fluid Topics does not treat it as a root.
  • Vocabularies must not contain reference cycles. If an <skos:Concept> element is a direct or indirect descendant of itself, Fluid Topics rejects the vocabulary.

When processing RDF vocabularies:

  • If an <skos:Concept> element contains multiple <skos:prefLabel> elements with the same locale, Fluid Topics only uses one.

    It is not mandatory to have an <skos:prefLabel> element for every locale.
