The Data Privacy Vocabulary (DPV), developed by the W3C Data Privacy Vocabularies and Controls Community Group (DPVCG), enables the creation of machine-readable, interoperable, and standards-based representations for describing the processing of personal data. The group has also published extensions to the DPV to describe specific applications to support legislative requirements such as the EU's GDPR. The DPV fills a crucial niche in the state of the art by providing a vocabulary that can be embedded and used alongside other existing standards such as W3C ODRL, and which can be customised and extended for adapting to specifics of use-cases or domains. This article describes the version 2 iteration of the DPV in terms of its contents, methodology, current adoptions and uses, and future potential. It also describes the relevance and role of DPV in acting as a common vocabulary to support various regulatory (e.g. EU's DGA and AI Act) and community initiatives (e.g. Solid) emerging across the globe.

翻译：数据隐私词汇表（DPV）由万维网联盟（W3C）数据隐私词汇与控制社区组（DPVCG）开发，旨在为描述个人数据处理过程提供机器可读、可互操作且基于标准的表示方法。该小组还发布了DPV的扩展，以描述支持立法要求（如欧盟《通用数据保护条例》（GDPR））的具体应用。DPV通过提供一个可嵌入并与W3C ODRL等其他现有标准结合使用的词汇表，填补了当前技术领域的关键空白，且该词汇表可根据用例或领域的具体需求进行定制和扩展。本文从内容、方法论、当前采用情况与用途以及未来潜力等方面介绍了DPV的第二版迭代。文章还阐述了DPV作为通用词汇表在全球范围内支持各类监管举措（如欧盟《数据治理法案》（DGA）和《人工智能法案》）及社区倡议（如Solid）的相关性与作用。
