Leo, To load the .ofn ontology, you have to first tell Protege that you will be using the OWL functional syntax.

Go to Window, Views, Ontology views and select "OWL functional syntax rendering".

It is a bit of a pain that Protege does not use the file extensions.

Hmm, Andrea. I’m getting errors trying to load this into Protégé 4.3.

 

Thanks,

Subject: [ontolog-forum] Reusable Metadata Ontology

 

I tried following the principles that we have been discussing in Track A to create a small, focused, general, reusable ontology (with usage information).

I started with something relatively easy (I thought), which was a consolidation of basic Dublin Core and SKOS concepts into an OWL 2 ontology.  The work is not finished since I have only been playing with the definition over the last few days.  The "finished" concepts are the ontology metadata/documentation (including what I didn't map and why), and several of the properties (contributor, coverage, creator, date, language, mimeType and rights).  The rest is all still a work-in-progress.

It has been interesting creating and dog-fooding the ontology.  I can definitely say that I refined it based on my experiences in using it.

 

You can check out the ontology on github (http://purl.org/ninepts/metadata).  My "master" definition is the .ofn (OWL functional syntax) file, and I used Protege to generate a Turtle encoding from it.  (I am maintaining the master definition in a version-control-friendly format (ofn), and also providing a somewhat human-readable format (ttl).)  I also want to experiment with different NL renderings that are more readable than Turtle.

I would appreciate feedback.

Thanks.
