Vocabulary approach

Focal Point^® RDF data model uses some of the industry standard vocabularies and has its own vocabulary for its resources.Focal Point^® RDF data model uses these vocabularies.

Standard vocabulary

Focal Point^® RDF resource definitions uses these industry standard vocabularies:

Vocabulary name	Prefix name	URI namespace
Resource Description Framework (RDF)	rdf:	http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#
Resource Description Framework Schema (RDFS)	rdfs:	http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#
Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) Metadata Terms	dcterms:	http://purl.org/dc/terms/
Friend of a Friend (FOAF)	foaf:	http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/
Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC)	oslc:	http://open-services.net/ns/core#

The resources that are mapped to standard vocabulary are not configurable.

Focal Point^® defined vocabulary

For some of the Focal Point^® resources, the core vocabulary and data type vocabulary is defined in Focal Point^®.

Vocabulary name	Prefix name	URI namespace
Focal Point^® defined core vocabulary For Focal Point^® defined concepts and resource types, the core vocabulary is defined.	fps:	http://jazz.net/ns/psm/focalpoint#
Focal Point^® defined data type vocabulary Focal Point^® defined data types uses the data type vocabulary.	fpdt:	http://jazz.net/ns/psm/focalpoint/datatypes#

The resources that are mapped to the Focal Point^® defined vocabulary are not configurable.

Note You need to register on Jazz.net to access the vocabulary documents.

Focal Point^® auto-generated RDF vocabulary: For user-defined data types and attributes, the vocabulary is generated automatically. This vocabulary is generated for resource types, attributes and choice items. The documents are generated separately for each workspace. You can modify the auto-generated vocabulary mapping by configuring them. For information about configuring the vocabulary, see the Configuring the vocabulary topic.
