Description

NOTE: This is filler text. Proper introduction needs to be written, still.

The data model in this document describes the data of the Swiss registry of plant protection products (SRPPP), encoded via the Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL).

Fundamentally, the data model describes plant protection products and their attributes.

All data described in this SHACL data model in is hosted on LINDAS (Linked Data Service), the semantic web infrastructure of the Swiss federal government. The complete, dynamically updated dataset resides at https://lindas.admin.ch/. To interact with this knowledge graph, practitioners must employ the SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language. Querying the LINDAS endpoint allows users to execute highly specific, multi-dimensional graph traversals.

An introductory query is provided below to demonstrate the fundamental semantic extraction of arbitrary triples:

PREFIX : <https://agriculture.ld.admin.ch/plant-protection/>
PREFIX country: <https://ld.admin.ch/country/>
PREFIX schema: <http://schema.org/>

SELECT *
FROM <https://lindas.admin.ch/fsvo/plant-protection-products>
WHERE {
  ?product a :ParallelImport ;
    schema:name ?name ;
    schema:countryOfOrigin country:DEU ;
    :federalAdmissionNumber ?wNumber .
}
LIMIT 10

To run this query, you may visit the LINDAS SPARQL GUI.

However, to fully leverage the analytical capabilities of this schema, users are directed to the centralized query repository. A comprehensive suite of advanced SPARQL query templates, demonstrating complex relational extraction and data aggregation, is maintained within the project's source control at https://github.com/BLV-OSAV-USAV/PSMV-RDF/tree/main/src/sparql/examples.

Quantitative value

https://agriculture.ld.admin.ch/plant-protection/shape/QuantitativeValue

Represents a measurable quantity, providing a strict numerical (standard, minimal, or maximal) value coupled with a unit of measurement. It is used to quantify attributes such as application dosages, required waiting periods, or formulation concentrations in a machine-readable and consistent manner. Because it's important to be able to display a quantitative value exactly as it was written in the original admission documents, the quantitative value is also provided in textual form.

Substance

https://agriculture.ld.admin.ch/plant-protection/shape/Substance

Denotes the foundational chemical entity or active biological agent embedded within a formulation. It abstracts the physical formulation to reference the fundamental molecule or organism responsible for the product's protective action.
