Linking-You RDF Vocabulary

Terms which link an organisation to common webpages, such as a contact page or "about" page.

A few changes have been made to terms to make them useful outside academia. It is generally expected that the targets will be HTML documents, but in some cases it may be other formats, such as a PDF prospectus.

Namespace: http://purl.org/linkingyou/

This vocublary is based on the Linking-You project performed by those clever chaps at Lincoln University. This mapping has been endorsed by the Lincoln team. The RDF version of the linking-you toolkit was created by Christopher Gutteridge.
