An Agent Certification Ontology
created: 2014-01-23T23:40:28Z
preferred namespace prefix: acrt
description: This document specifies a vocabulary for asserting the existence of official endorsements or certifications of <em xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:acrt="http://privatealpha.com/ontology/certification/1#" xmlns:bibo="http://purl.org/ontology/bibo/" xmlns:dct="http://purl.org/dc/terms/" xmlns:foaf="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/" xmlns:owl="http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#" xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" xmlns:rdfs="http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#" xmlns:skos="http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#" xmlns:vann="http://purl.org/vocab/vann/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#">agents, such as people and organizations.
scope note: The purpose of this vocabulary is record-keeping and exchange, and likewise is its application context. The actual vetting mechanisms of the certifications in question are out of scope.
