COMMONS13 — Certain ontologies would benefit from having a node id for ontology elements that supports searching

Open Closed All
  • Key: COMMONS13-30
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    For generated ontologies such as BACM, and applications that need access to the blank nodes in an ontology, it is useful to have a UUID for every node, particularly blank nodes, which could be handled as an annotation. For alignment with XMI metamodels it may be quite useful.

    This request came from BMI. We could add it to either (1) the annotation vocabulary, or (2) one of the identifier ontologies in Commons

    Resolving this issue requires a bit more research, and should take into account the changes that are coming in RDF 1.2, which simplifies reification among other things that may be relevant.

    We are deferring this to allow for more discussion and to await finalization of the RDF 1.2 specification.
