Data Model Ontology
This ontology is actually quite simple. Very simple.
One of the problems with semantic desktop ontologies is their complexity. Understanding them fully is not an easy task, especially because the model graphs easily become very complex visually, and unfortunately there is not much documentation of the thinking and planning behind the ontologies.
In order to make it easy to work with my ontologies, understand them, extend them and use them, I’m going to write extensive documentation for them. This ontology, the data model ontology, is the vocabulary I’ll use for describing ontologies and the models behind them.
Right now, the model is very simple:
- Each ontology describes a concept, i.e. things of a certain kind, which is a class in Razom terms
- Each ontology realizes a set of features, which are realizations of aspects of the concept
For example, the Issue Ontology I’ve been working on:
- It describes issues
- It has aspects such as task assignment, priority, scheduling, discussion, attachments, dependencies
Writing this information about each ontology will help a lot to write good documentation and help people graps it.
