Resolve urn:solid: identifiers, map arbitrary RDF to canonical urn:solid terms, propose new terms. Use whenever working with Solid-ecosystem RDF data, linked-data vocabularies, or whenever you encounter urn:solid: in user data.

urn-solid
A curated, LLM-native registry of urn:solid: terms mapped to common RDF vocabularies.
When to use this skill
- The user works with Solid pods, WebID, or Solid-specific RDF data.
- The user asks for canonical terms for foaf/schema.org/dcterms/vcard/activitystreams concepts.
- The user pastes Turtle/JSON-LD/N-Triples and asks what's missing or how to map it.
- You are generating RDF and want a single canonical term instead of picking between overlapping vocabularies.
Quick-start
One fetch gets you everything:
curl -s https://urn-solid.github.io/corpus.jsonlEach line is a self-contained JSON-LD record. Load the whole corpus once; every lookup after that is local.
Resolving a term
- URL pattern:
https://urn-solid.github.io/<Name>/(HTML with JSON-LD data island). - Raw JSON-LD:
https://urn-solid.github.io/<Name>/index.json. - Names are case-sensitive. Classes are PascalCase (
Person), properties are camelCase (name).
Mapping foreign RDF → urn:solid
For each IRI in user data:
- Search
corpus.jsonlfor a term whoseowl:sameAsequals the IRI → that's the canonicalurn:solid:mapping. - If no
owl:sameAsmatch, checkrdfs:seeAlsoarrays for a looser match. - If nothing matches, the IRI is a candidate for a new
urn:solid:term.
Proposing new terms
When the user has unmapped IRIs they'd like added:
- Confirm with the user.
- Open an issue at https://github.com/urn-solid/urn-solid.github.io/issues with the IRI, a proposed label, and a one-sentence definition.
- For batch proposals, attach the list as JSON.
Writing JSON-LD that uses urn-solid
Minimal example:
{
"@context": "https://urn-solid.github.io/context.jsonld",
"@id": "https://alice.example/profile#me",
"@type": "urn:solid:Person",
"urn:solid:name": "Alice"
}The context declares the common prefixes (rdfs, owl, foaf, schema, dcterms, vcard, prov, as, solid, ldp) plus urn-solid meta predicates.
Disambiguation
Every term carries notToBeConfusedWith. Read it before picking between similar terms — urn:solid:Person vs urn:solid:Agent, urn:solid:name vs a future structured-name term.
Don't
- Don't invent
urn:solid:identifiers that aren't in the corpus. Resolve first; propose second. - Don't assume case-insensitivity —
urn:solid:personis noturn:solid:Person. - Don't fetch individual term files in a loop when you could load
corpus.jsonlonce.
