The occupation and nationalities vocabularies are Semantic Web ready and modelled in RDF using both the Ontolex and Lexinfo ontologies. A graphic model of the mapping is available below in figure 1
The main entity (e.g. sari:2CF4DA9C-69DF-46DA-89CC-CE96BCA21716) are described as crm:E55_Type, skos:Concept and ontolex:lexicalConcept and linked with ontolex:LexicalEntry in German and English.
Each ontolex:LexicalEntry is linked using ontolex:lexicalForm with a ontolex:Form identified by a gender, a number, and by a ontolex:writtenRep.
Preferred forms in both English and German are identified at both the root level using skosxl:prefLabel as well as in the ontolex:LexicalEntry level using the property ontolex:lexicalForm. Moreover, for practical reason, each ontolex:LexicalEntry describe also the preferred label of that entry using skos:prefLabel.
Language are decoded using both the language tags in the labels as well as with the link to glottolog.org
