Semantic Representation of Data
Reasoning with Ontologies
Organization
College Library
Department Museum
• All Colleges are Organizations. • All Libraries are Organizations. • All Departments are
Organizations. • All Museums are
Organizations.
Reasoning adds triples to your system-
creates new data.
VIVOs Core Ontology
• Dublin core • Event ontology • FOAF • Geopolitical • SKOS • BIBO
VIVO Core Ontology – Bubble diagram
Example: Modeling a Person
• Research (bibo:Document, vivo:Grant, vivo:Project, vivo:Software, vivo:Dataset, vivo:ResearchLaboratory)
• Teaching (vivo:TeacherRole, vivo:AdvisingRelatioship)
• Services (vivo:Service, vivo:CoreLaboratory, vivo:MemberRole)
• Expertise (vivo:SubjectArea)
VIVO Ontology Localization
• Different localization required by different institutions – UF, Cornell, IU, WASHU, Scripps
• How to make localization: – Adding local namespace:
• UF: http://vivo.ufl.edu/ontology/vivo-ufl/ • core: http://vivoweb.org/ontology/core#
– Local classes are the subclasses of the VIVO Core
• foaf:Agent à foaf:Organization à ufVivo:Non-Governmental Organization
