Appendix: schema components not yet implemented
This appendix is non-normative. It describes metadata components that have been approved for the RAiD Metadata Schema, or that are published in the RAiD controlled lists, but that the RAiD system does not currently accept. They are recorded here so that Registration Agencies can plan for them, and so that the numbered sections of this documentation describe only what is implemented.
Nothing in this appendix should be used in a RAiD metadata record. Components are moved into the numbered sections when the RAiD system begins accepting them.
traditionalKnowledge
Definition: metadata schema block containing information about Traditional Knowledge (TK) / Biocultural (BC) Labels and Notices
Requirement: optional
Occurrence: 0-n
Note: This metadata block is not implemented in the RAiD system. No RAiD metadata record currently contains a traditionalKnowledge block. It is documented here because the block has been approved for the schema and its identifier schema is published in the RAiD controlled lists.
traditionalKnowledge.id
Definition: identifier (URI) linking to a verified source for TK or BC Labels or Notices pertaining to a project or activity
Requirement: optional
Occurrence: 0-1
Allowed values: identifier defined by traditionalKnowledge.schemaUri
Example(s):
https://localcontextshub.org/projects/03818172-23c1-4dd1-a662-f11aa07cccda/ (Island Sustainability Project 2025, a Project in Local Contexts Hub)
Note: Only Local Contexts Hub Projects are intended as a source for validated TK/BC Labels and Notices.
traditionalKnowledge.schemaUri
Definition: the URI of the TK/BC label identifier schema
Requirement: mandatory for each traditionalKnowledge supplied
Occurrence: 1
Allowed values: closed controlled list of URIs defined at https://vocabulary.raid.org/traditionalKnowledgeLabel.schemaUri/scheme
https://localcontexts.org/labels/traditional-knowledge-labels/(Local Contexts Hub)
Note: Only Local Contexts Hub is intended as a source for validated TK/BC Labels and Notices. Earlier versions of this documentation gave the schema URI as https://localcontextshub.org/projects/; the value shown above is the one published in the controlled list.
