5. April Speaker

Nicholas Car "Ontology Publication Profile"

• Origins
  • inspired by VocPub
• Purpose
  • to assist with Best Practice ontology publication
    • by providing a specification for a consistent set of metadata for ontologies
    • by supplying a data validator
    • by presenting examples
• Specification structure
  • https://w3id.org/profile/ontpub/spec
• Highlights
  • use of SKOS labelling & note properties (skos:prefLabel & skos:definition) for main ontology elements
  • use of schema.org for many ontology/element annotations
    • this is a departure form DCTERMS, FOAF etc. schema.org now does them all
  • handing of ontology elements defined elsewhere and reused here
  • ontology/element provenance options
  • IRI formulation (format) requirements
  • nascent listing of OWL Axiom ontology elements
  • demo
• Challenges
  • how to refer to Standards profiled
• Links
  • https://w3id.org/profile/ontpub - profile PID temporary IRI
    • expected to re-identify with an AGLDWG IRI
  • https://w3id.org/profile/ - profiles register listing
  • https://github.com/nicholascar/ontpub-profile - profile repository
