# Royal Navy service vocabulary
#
# A controlled vocabulary of Naval Service terms - the formations and
# services a person served in, and the roles they held - as found in official
# and historical personnel records, so those records can be read and
# reconciled as linked data.
#
# IDENTITY. The concept is identified by its full term (a readable slug URI)
# and skos:prefLabel; the abbreviation as it appears in a record is a
# PROPERTY (skos:notation), not the identifier - so the vocabulary can grow
# beyond abbreviations without its identifiers changing. Concepts dual-type
# schema:DefinedTerm for the web layer and group under a small set of
# category parents via skos:broader.
#
# FAMILY. This is the Naval member of a per-force family alongside
# military-raf and military-army. They are separate schemes because the same
# abbreviation denotes different things in different services - "Capt" is a
# junior Army rank and a senior Royal Navy one - so one combined scheme would
# need a single concept to mean two ranks at once.
#
# THE ROYAL MARINES ARE HERE, not in military-army. They are part of the
# Naval Service, and the records treat them so: an entry reads "Royal
# Marines" in the same position another reads "Royal Navy".
#
# THE ROYAL NAVY IS NAMED, not only its formations. A record commonly gives
# the service alone - "Captain A B Smith, Royal Navy" - and a vocabulary that
# held only ships and squadrons would have nothing for that to resolve to.

# SOURCES. The terms and expansions are the standard forms used in official
# and historical service records, cross-referenced with the Royal Navy and
# standard reference works; Wikidata is linked per concept by skos:exactMatch
# where the UK item is verified.
