Publish vocabularies, not infrastructure

Prez Lite turns your SKOS vocabulary files into a fast, searchable website you can deploy anywhere — no servers, no databases, no SPARQL endpoint required.

What you get

For vocabulary authors

• Write vocabularies in standard SKOS Turtle format
• Hierarchical concept browser with full-text search
• Automatic exports in TTL, JSON-LD, CSV, RDF/XML
• SHACL validation out of the box

For developers

• Embeddable web components (<prez-list>) for any application
• JSON API for programmatic access
• Profile-driven configuration — no code changes needed
• GitHub Actions CI/CD included

For organisations

• Deploy to GitHub Pages, Azure, AWS, or any static host
• No runtime dependencies — just HTML, CSS, and JSON
• Standards-compliant: SKOS, DCAT, VocPub, Dublin Core

How it works

1. Author — Write SKOS vocabularies in Turtle format
2. Configure — Set up profiles to control labels, descriptions, and exports
3. Build — The pipeline processes TTL into optimised JSON
4. Deploy — Push to GitHub and your site goes live
