conversion:uses_predicate

What is first

• Most of the terms in the conversion: vocabulary are conversion:Enhancements, but some terms are annotations that are created during the conversion. conversion:uses_predicate is one of those annotations.

What we will cover

This page will cover what the conversion:uses_predicate property describes, and a bit of background on how it is computed.

Let's get to it!

If two datasets use the same vocabulary, then there is a good chance that it will be worthwhile to combine them to get more interesting results. The conversion:uses_predicate property annotates void:Datasets with the RDF predicates that appear in its triples. For example, if the dataset http://purl.org/twc/health/source/hub-healthdata-gov/dataset/hospital-compare/version/2012-Jul-17 contains the triples:

@prefix vcard: <http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#> .
@prefix prov:  <http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#> .

<http://localhost/source/hub-healthdata-gov/dataset/hospital-compare/version/2012-Jul-17/provider/010001> 
   prov:specializationOf  <http://logd.tw.rpi.edu/id/medicare-gov/provider/010001> ;
   vcard:organization-name "Southeast Alabama Medical Center" ;
   vcard:adr <http://localhost/source/hub-healthdata-gov/provider/010001/address> ;
   prov:atLocation dbpedia:Houston_County .

then the following triple is informs us that the dataset uses the predicate:

<http://purl.org/twc/health/source/hub-healthdata-gov/dataset/hospital-compare/version/2012-Jul-17>
   conversion:uses_predicate prov:specializationOf, vcard:organization-name, vard:adr, prov:atLocation .
