UK honours award types
The honours vocabulary: orders of chivalry and their grades, gallantry decorations and medals, mapped to Wikidata and to The Gazette’s honours ontology.
- The domain model
Core ontology
The classes and properties connecting conferrals, people and provenance to the concept schemes — the model the instance data is described with.
Why publish it
A vocabulary that only exists inside an application is not reusable and cannot be cited. These files are the reconciliation target for Honoria’s own pipeline — messy source rows resolve onto these clean concepts — and they are equally usable by anyone else working with the UK honours record.
