NSDL Registry Use Cases

Functional Requirements

User Documentation



  • STEP 1. Go to the Registry (or to the Sandbox if you want to try things out first)

  • STEP 2. Click on “sign in/register” in the top right hand corner and register yourself as a user.


  • STEP 3. As a User, you may now register an organization or a person as a vocabulary "agent" or maintenance agency.


  • Step 4. After you've registered an agent, you will see a list of current vocabularies, and a button on the bottom of the list that says “create.” If you click this button, you will be presented with a form to fill out for your vocabulary.
  • Step 5. Once your vocabulary is registered, you may add concepts by clicking on the concepts tab at the top, and clicking on the “create” button to invoke the concepts form. After the first concept is registered, you can use “save and add” to save the current concept and allow you to register the next in one step. We suggest that you register all your concepts FIRST, before adding any properties to the concepts (why we suggest this will become more obvious when you begin to create relationships between concepts).
  • Step 6. Once your concepts are registered, you can go through and add additional properties. When you add “broader,” “narrower,” or “related” properties to a concept, The Registry will automatically maintain these relationships in the related concepts.

Viewing Your Vocabularies

Each vocabulary has a "get RDF" button that you can use to view your vocabulary in RDF, and each vocabulary and concept URI is "live" and resolves to either RDF or XHTML, depending on the requested content.
