FIGI — About files are needed for FIGI, similar to those created for the FIBO specifications

The current strategy for development of metadata for ontologies, based on evolutionary work on the FIBO specifications, is to move some of that metadata to "about" files, that describe the specification and specification version, as well as modules (if applicable), to limit the size of the headers in the ontologies themselves and eliminate duplication where possible.

This issue affects the machine readable files primarily, although the URIs for the about files should be provided in the FTF report inventory, and potentially on the cover page of the specification itself. The about files are provided as RDF/XML serialized OWL only at this time, not as ODM XMI, UML XMI or in ancillary model files.

About files are needed for FIGI, similar to those created for the FIBO specifications

The resolution of this issue requires development of two "about" files, one for the FIGI specification and one for the 1.0 version of that specification. It affects machine-readable files only, no specification text changes are required.

The relevant RDF/XML serialized OWL files are attached.
