Get started with hosting

This guide helps you decide whether PCA Host is the right route and how to prepare for it.

When PCA Host is the right option

Use PCA Host when you already have content prepared and need PCA to host and publish it, especially in cases where the interactive creation services do not directly match your need.

Typical examples include:

  • a standards organization publishing a digital standard through PCA
  • an enterprise publishing its own domain ontology or corporate standard
  • a content owner providing RDF that should be hosted, validated, and made available through PCA

Step-by-step

  1. Confirm that PCA Host is the right path for your content.
  2. Check whether your content is already prepared as RDF in Turtle.
  3. Read the detailed host requirements before you prepare the final files.
  4. Make sure the ontology, namespace, metadata, and typing follow PCA expectations.
  5. Contact PCA if you need clarification before submission.

Practical advice

  • Do not wait until the end to check the requirements.
  • Validate your content structure and namespace choices early.
  • Make sure you understand whether you are publishing a standard-aligned ontology, a general PCA ontology, or another RDF content package.
