Event Types
The Artsdata controlled vocabulary for event types.
The list of types (SKOS concepts) and the concept scheme can be viewed here ArtsdataEventTypes.
For example, an Event can be assigned the type http://kg.artsdata.ca/resource/PerformingArtsEvent showing narrower and broader SKOS concepts.
This is a WIP - work in progress. For the latest changes and edits visit Google Sheet to view the pending (not yet published) version of the Artsdata controlled vocabulary and mapping to other vocabularies.

How to use
The Artsdata Event Controlled Vocabulary is used along with the schema.org Event type. An Event in Artsdata is a http://schema.org/Event (schema:Event or schema:EventSeries) and optionally an additional type from the Artsdata Event Controlled Vocabulary using the schema:additionalType property.
For example: ex:Event1 a schema:Event ; schema:additionalType <http://kg.artsdata.ca/resource/PerformingArtsEvent> .
Reconciling
You can reconcile event types using the Artsdata Reconciliation Service.
To give it a try:
- Go to the W3C entity reconciliation test bench
- Enter the name of an event type, such as Circus
- Click the Reconcile button
To limit the results only to the controlled vocabulary:
- Select the type “Concept” (optional)
- Click the button “Add property”
- Enter the Property ID “skos:inScheme” and the value “adr:ArtsdataEventTypes”
- Enter the name of an event type, such as Circus
- Click the Reconcile button
Dereferencing
Each SKOS Concept or ConceptScheme URI can be dereferenced individually. Or you can download the entire vocabulary using this download link.
