Identifiers & vocabularies

Honoria publishes its controlled vocabularies and ontologies as linked data. Every term has a stable URI under https://id.honoria.co.uk/def/ that resolves to Turtle for RDF clients and to a documentation page for browsers.

Concepts carry qualified outward mappings — skos:exactMatch to Wikidata, and skos:closeMatch to the equivalent class in The Gazette’s honours ontology, whose lower confidence is deliberately quarantined behind the non-transitive relation.

Vocabularies

SKOS concept schemes: the controlled term lists, each concept identified by its URI and carrying its post-nominal or code as skos:notation.

• 60 concepts

  Gazette name titles

  Courtesy titles and service ranks as recorded before recipient names in London Gazette honours lists, for driving name-title parsing from the vocabulary. Grouped by kind; abbreviations captured as skos:notation / skos:altLabel; reconcilable to external and service-rank vocabularies.

• 55 concepts

  Gazette organisation types

  Organisation-type designators as recorded in London Gazette honours citations, for driving role/organisation parsing from the vocabulary. Grouped by broad category; reconciled to schema.org organisation subtypes where an unambiguous equivalent exists.

  Honoria recipient locations

  Towns, counties and countries recorded as UK honours recipients' locations, each with its coordinates, Wikidata entity and place hierarchy (town within county within country; overseas towns within their country). The name-to-identifier location reference; coordinates are folded in from the geocode stage.

  Honoria recipient occupations

  The occupations recorded for UK honours recipients (from the citation or Gazette job title), each with its recipient count and a best-effort match to an ESCO occupation - the EU standard occupation classification. A reference vocabulary; the ESCO match is a top-1 automatic mapping (skos:closeMatch), not a curated equivalence.

• 10 shapes

  Honoria core shapes

  SHACL validation shapes for Honoria knowledge-graph instance data - cardinalities, enumerations, value patterns and provenance guarantees for the classes defined by the core ontology.

  Honours shapes

  SHACL validation shapes for the Honoria honours vocabulary - the well-formedness rules every award-type concept must satisfy (a language-tagged preferred label and scheme membership at violation severity; a definition and an outward Wikidata mapping at warning severity).
