Vocabulary

The terms every page of this index marks itself up with. Available as Turtle and as a JSON-LD context, and by content negotiation on this URL.

Namespace https://carolinaquotes.com/ns#, fixed to the permanent domain. Classes align with schema.org and PROV-O rather than replacing them: a quotation is a schema:Quotation, and its provenance is a prov:Entity.
