Rommel,

 

Don’t try to pack too much information into the name, especially pieces that may change.  Agency name is something to avoid because everything gets confused when the agency is reorganized out of existence or split apart or ... .  If the information in the name can break, it likely needs to be ignored.

 

I’ll look for some better examples.

Hi Steve,

 

Do you know of any convention that says what should be this path/to/uri? For instance, should I focus on temporal attributes, for instance, YYYY/MM/DD/path/to/URI? Or, should I have /ontologies/generalDomain/nameOfOntology...? Do my questions make sense?

 

Another "problem" is that a ontology might be created by many different agencies through collaboration. Then, I ask, which www.agency.gov should be used? Has anybody dealt with this kind of problem? Note that my goal is to create ontologies that represent things used by all, or most of, the Government and not just one agency.

 

Thanks,

Rommel

Hi Arun,

 

I was looking more for naming conventions for using when defining a specific URI. For instance, what should I put in "path/to/uri" when defining a term in the ontologies defined in my agency, for instance "www.agency.gov/path/to/uri".

 

Thanks,

Rommel

Hi,

While the W3C is a consortium, it is not an approved standard in the sense of international ISO.

I recommend, therefore, that you look at the ISO 24707 Common Logic Standard.

http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=39175

This is a standard for semantic data and interchange that subsumes all the W3C efforts and provides a solid foundation for work.  There are ample examples available (from the work of Pat Hayes) to show how to map OWL to CL and from this you can get the representations for URI's (see worked on the Linked Data effort for example that would be a good pointer to some ideas).

Thanks!

Hi all,

 

I am currently working for the Brazilian Office of the Comptroller General (CGU) and right now I am involved in the open data initiative here in Brazil (which is one of our main goals in the Open Government Partnership - OGP). At this moment, we are creating documents that are going to drive how the different agencies should publish their data as open data in the Web. One of the things we will address in these documents is how to define the URI for the different ontologies we will be creating. I was hoping you could point me to the right direction on where I can find information on best practices to define URIs for ontologies in the Semantic Web. Is there some kind of standard for this?

 

Thanks,

Rommel
