Teaching Core Vocabulary relies on W3C's RDF technology, an open Web standard that can be freely used by anyone.
This visual layout and structure of the specification was adapted from the Open Provenance Model Vocabulary edited by Jun Zhao, SIOC Core Ontology Specification edited by Uldis Bojars and John G. Breslin and the Provenance Vocabulary Core Ontology Specification edited by Olaf Hartig and Jun Zhao.
TEACH, the Teaching Core Vocabulary, is a lightweight vocabulary providing terms to enable teachers to relate things in their courses together. The Teaching Core Vocabulary is based on practical requirements set by providing seminar and course descriptions as Linked Data.
This documents specifies the classes and properties introduced by the TEACH core vocabulary.NOTE: This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document.
This specification is an evolving document. This document may be updated or added to based on implementation experience, but no commitment is made by the authors regarding future updates. This document is generated by combining a machine-readable Teaching Core Vocabulary Namespace expressed in RDF/XML with a specification template and a set of per-term documents.
The Teaching Core Vocabulary is defined as a set of classes and properties.

An alphabetical index of terms from the Teaching Core Vocabulary, by class and by property, are given below. All the terms are hyperlinked to their detailed description for quick reference.
Properties: | courseDescription | courseTitle | teacher | teacherOf | studentGroup | weeklyHours | grading | academicTerm | room | reportTemplate | reviewTemplate | opponentOf | reading | nextReading | deadlineDraftReport | deadlineFinalReport | deadlineReviewReport | arrangedAt | notArrangedAt |
The Core TEACH definitions presented here are written using a computer language (RDF/OWL) that makes it easy for software to process some basic facts about the terms in the Teaching Core Vocabulary, and consequently about the things described using TEACH.
The Teaching Core Vocabulary is identified by the namespace URI "http://linkedscience.org/teach/ns#".
Revisions and extensions of TEACH are conducted through edits to the namespace document, which by convention is published on the Web at the namespace URI.
The properties and types defined here provide some basic concepts for describing information relevant when teaching a course/seminar. Other vocabularies (e.g. AIISO - Academic Institution Internal Structure Ontology, MLO - Metadata for Learning Opportunities, XCRI-CAP - XCRI Course Advertising Profile, the Dublin Core metadata terms, FOAF, BIBO - The Bibliographic Ontology, W3C Ontology for Media Resources, the Time Ontology in OWL, the Open Provenance Model Vocabulary, etc.) can also be mixed in with TEACH terms, as can local extensions. TEACH is designed to be extended.
