(srv) Interoperability framework

The acronym srv identifies this extension in the repository name (ext-srv), w3id.org URL paths, and ontology file names. It is also the OWL namespace prefix for new terms (srv:camelCase, declared as vann:preferredNamespacePrefix in srv.ttl) and the JSON-LD alias prefix for extension-specific properties (srv_snake_case). Properties from the core or external vocabularies carry no srv_ prefix.
