This is the registry for URIs with the base https://geoconnex.us, principally to assign permanent identifiers and redirects for hydrologic features in the United States as an implementation Internet of Water principles. Persistent identifiers are important for maintaining a production system of linked hydrologic data systems, of the sort that SELFIE experimented.
The process for adding a URI is similar to that used by w3id.org
The preferred way to create the redirects yourself is by following these steps:
- Fork the
internetofwater/geoconnex.usrepository. - Add a directory corresponding to the namespace you want. For example '/example-namespace/
- Add a set of redirects using the csv template or a geojson file with the same attributes.
- The only required fields are "id" (the geoconnex URI you want), "target" (where the URI should redirect to), and "creator" (your email address).
- Optionally include latitude and longitude, lines, or polygons in a geojson file to refer to resources about places with distinct locations on Earth.
- Optionally include more complex redirects for content negotiarion using the c1_ and c2_ fields.
- (Optional) Add a
README.mddetailing contact persons and (a subset of) your permanent identifiers in your namespace directory. For an example, seeexample-namespace/README.md - Commit your changes and submit a pull request.
- geoconnex.us administrators will review your pull request and merge it if everything looks correct. Once the pull request is merged, the changes go live within (a time period)
