Core Vocabularies are defined as simplified, re-usable and extensible data models that capture the fundamental characteristics of a data entity in a context-neutral and syntax-neutral fashion.

Handbook

The 'Handbook on using the Core Vocabularies' describes how the Core Vocabularies can be used to:

1. Design new data models that extend the Core Vocabularies; and
2. Map existing data models to the Core Vocabularies.
