Schema and Vocabulary Versions

Schemas are expected to change less often than vocabularies and the versioning is handled differently.

  • Schema URIs are found from the file names schemas/core/cep.entity.schema.json, etc.
  • Schemas are unversioned at the path, and the schemaVersion field provides the version.
  • Vocabulary URIs are found in vocabulary/<name>.v1.0.0.json#<code>.
