Use when discovering, researching, triaging, or maintaining the list of candidate SKOS vocabularies for skosdex — i.e. updating third_party/skos/CANDIDATES.md, verifying a scheme's license, or deciding whether a vocabulary can be bundled or must stay metadata-only.

Curate candidate vocabularies

The backlog of SKOS schemes lives in third_party/skos/CANDIDATES.md. This skill keeps it accurate and decides what may be onboarded.

Workflow

Discover candidates from registries: BARTOC (https://bartoc.org/), Linked Open Vocabularies (https://lov.linkeddata.es/), the W3C SKOS/Datasets wiki, and domain ontology portals (AgroPortal, BioPortal).
Verify the license at the source — do not trust third-party summaries. Find the publisher's own download/terms page and record the exact license.

Classify into the gate that controls bundling:

class	examples	container	static (demo/Pages)
`public-domain`	CC0, US-gov works	✅	✅
`open`	CC BY, ODC-By, OGL, Apache/MIT	✅	✅
`copyleft`	CC BY-SA	✅ container-only	❌
`noncommercial`	CC BY-NC, BY-NC-ND	✅ container-only	❌
`proprietary` / `unknown`	all rights reserved; ODbL (not granted)	❌	❌
Container-only (policy v2, 2026-06-10): license explicit in meta.ttl +
manifest.json; no semantic changes (N-Quads formatting only); never in
static artifacts — the demo builder filters these schemes automatically.
When in doubt, treat as not bundleable and mark "To investigate".

Record the scheme in the right table in CANDIDATES.md with publisher, license, class, formats, and a working source URL. Note the review date.
Onboard (graduate) by creating third_party/skos/<slug>/meta.ttl via the add-skos-scheme skill. For large dumps, start with skosdex:bundle false.

Rules

Licensing is non-negotiable: every bundled scheme carries an explicit license in meta.ttl; copyleft/NC data is container-only; proprietary and ODbL data is never committed or bundled — only its metadata.
Prefer SKOS-native serializations (Turtle / N-Triples / N-Quads); n3 cannot parse RDF/XML, so RDF/XML-only sources need conversion (riot, rapper) or a per-scheme helper in the scheme's tools/ folder.
Keep the "Last reviewed" date in CANDIDATES.md current when you touch it.

embed-at-scale

danbri/skosdex

Use when (re)building skosdex concept embeddings for many or all schemes at once — a one-off GPU batch box to embed the whole corpus ASAP, or a parallel CI matrix for incremental per-scheme additions. Covers the embed pipeline, where to run it (and why not the prod box), model parity, committing + deploying the vectors with no blackout, and — critically — tearing the GPU box down afterwards so it stops billing.

embeddings-api

danbri/skosdex

Use when working with skosdex concept embeddings — the per-scheme and combined vectors, their JSON formats, the in-browser "similar by meaning" / viz consumers, or the server-side similarity REST API (tools/embed_api.mjs). Covers how to build, combine, query, and extend them.

2026-06-171

deploy-fly

danbri/skosdex

Use when redeploying the live skosdex stack (skosdex.fly.dev — Oxigraph + Solr + web) on Fly.io, choosing between a direct deploy and the zero-downtime cutover, forcing/monitoring a deploy, or recovering a broken one. The deploy is CI-driven from claude/main.

2026-06-161

add-skos-scheme

danbri/skosdex

Use when adding a new SKOS concept scheme / vocabulary / thesaurus to the skosdex repository (creating its third_party/skos/<slug>/ folder and meta.ttl), or when deciding whether a scheme's data may be committed and bundled given its license.

2026-06-101

build-data-bundle

danbri/skosdex

Use when producing the shippable skosdex dataset — merging openly-licensed canonical N-Quads into dist/bundle.nq.gz, generating dist/solr-docs.json, building the docs/ site, or understanding which schemes are included/excluded and why.

2026-06-091

normalize-skos

danbri/skosdex

Use when fetching, parsing, normalizing, or canonicalizing a SKOS scheme into N-Quads in skosdex — i.e. running the scripts/skosdex fetch/normalize/canonicalize pipeline or debugging its normalized.nq.gz / canonical.nq.gz output, including the gzip + Git LFS storage and zip/gz source decompression.
