Issues Descriptions

Title of Section 11.2.2 should use "Literal", not "RDFSLiteral"

  • Key: ODM12-134
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Institute for Defense Analyses ( Steven Wartik)
  • Summary:

    The title of Section 11.2.2 is "RDFSLiteral (Augmented Definition)". Class RDFSLiteral has been renamed to Literal, so the title should change.

ODM does not specify how to use triples

  • Key: ODM12-131
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Institute for Defense Analyses ( Steven Wartik)
  • Summary:

    Triples are necessary to state certain semantics in the metamodel (as opposed to the profile). For example, property assertions must be expressed using triples. The metamodel sections do not state how and when triples are to be used.

    This issue requests that documentation be added to metamodel sections describing how to use triples.

Serializing a self-contained model is problematic

  • Key: ODM12-130
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Institute for Defense Analyses ( Steven Wartik)
  • Summary:

    Because of the composition relationships in the current RDF and OWL metamodels, it is not possible to create a model that:

    1. contains an instance of class Namespace, and
    2. has an XMI serialization with a single root element that owns, directly or indirectly, all the other elements in the model.

    Class NamedGraph is the only class that can own Namespace (that is, the association between NamedGraph and Namespace is the only composite association involving Namespace). Therefore, a model with an instance of Namespace must either be serialized with a root element of Namespace or NamedGraph. In either case, the serialization cannot contain a Source or a NamespaceDefinition. No associations in the metamodel allow a Namespace or a NamedGraph to own a Source or a NamespaceDefinition, either directly or indirectly.

    Conversely, a model with a Source has no serialization in which the Source can own, directly or indirectly, a Namespace.

    The serialization of an ontology represented using the metamodel must contain (at least) two instances of metamodel classes. This is problematic for ECore, where the persistent representation of an ontology must exist in multiple files.

Section 10.2.4's description of an RDFSResource is misleading

  • Key: ODM12-129
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Institute for Defense Analyses ( Steven Wartik)
  • Summary:

    Section 10.4.2 states:

    All things described by RDF are called resources. This is the class of everything. All other classes are subclasses of this
    class.

    This is true of RDF, but it is not true of the RDF metamodel. Class RDFSResource is not the superclass of all classes in the RDF metamodel. The paragraph should be rewritten to clarify that it applies to RDF but not the RDF metamodel.

OWL metamodel needs an association between CardinalityRestriction and DataRange

  • Key: ODM12-128
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Institute for Defense Analyses ( Steven Wartik)
  • Summary:

    In the OWL metamodel, class CardinalityRestriction has an association with ClassExpression but not with DataRange. Consequently, the metamodel can represent a cardinality restriction such as:

    objProp exactly 1 cls

    and

    dataProp exactly 1

    but not

    dataProp exactly 1 xsd:string

    The metamodel does associate SomeValuesFromRestriction and AllValuesFromRestriction with both ClassExpression and DataRange. It needs the corresponding association for CardinalityRestriction.

OWLDatatype should specialize RDFSDatatype

  • Key: ODM12-127
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Institute for Defense Analyses ( Steven Wartik)
  • Summary:

    OWLDatatype specializes DataRange, which specializes RDFSClass. But the OWL 2 Mapping to RDF Graphs states in Table 1 that an OWL datatype maps to the triple:

    	T(DT) rdf:type rdfs:Datatype .
    

    OWLDatatype should specialize RDFSDatatype rather than RDFSClass.

    Classes DataIntersectionOf, DataUnionOf, DataComplementOf, DataOneOf, and DatatypeRestriction also map to triples of this form. Together with OWLDatatype, that's all the subclasses of DataRange. Should DataRange specialize RDFSDatatype instead of RDFSClass?

Erroneous association in definition of Document?

  • Key: ODM12-126
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Institute for Defense Analyses ( Steven Wartik)
  • Summary:

    The second association for class Document in the RDF metamodel (Section 10.8.1) is to Namespace, with role name xmlBase. The association's name is DefaultNamespaceForDocument. There is no corresponding association for Namespace (10.8.2). Association DefaultNamespaceForDocument exists between classes Source and Namespace. That role name is defaultNamespace, not xmlBase. Source has an association with role name xmlBase, but the associated class is IRI.

    Given that an association to Namespace exists in a superclass of Document, the xmlBase association is either redundant or a specialization that needs to be further described.

    Also, should the association between Source and Namespace be named DefaultNamespaceForSource instead of DefaultNamespaceForDocument?

Section 11.6.1 uses "ClassExpressions" instead of "DataRanges"

  • Key: ODM12-125
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Institute for Defense Analyses ( Steven Wartik)
  • Summary:

    Section 11.6.1 describes how the OWL DataRange concept is modeled. Its Constraint [1] has the phrase "ClassExpressions must be anonymous". The phrase should read "DataRanges must be anonymous".

Conflicting role names in OWL metamodel

  • Key: ODM12-124
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Institute for Defense Analyses ( Steven Wartik)
  • Summary:

    In Figure 11.4, both classes DataRange and ClassExpression have two associations whose role names are "restrictionClass". UML does not permit a class to have multiple associations with the same role name.

    This issue is being reported based on Figure 11.4, but it affects sections 11.3.1 and 11.6.1 as well.

Issues in Annex G

  • Key: ODM12-123
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Institute for Defense Analyses ( Steven Wartik)
  • Summary:

    Annex G (MOF QVT: A Brief Tutorial) contains some statements that are incorrect or incomplete:

    • Section G.2, paragraph 3, sentence 2 states: "No work is done via a when clause". This is misleading. Relations invoked in a when clause can create instances.
    • Section G.2, paragraph 3, sentence 4: The sentence states that predicates can be connected by an or operator. Individual predicates can contain or operators, but the QVT specification doesn't say or connects predicates.
    • Section G.2, paragraph 4: The paragraph reads "OCL functions can be used." This is true, but incomplete. QVT permits a transformation to define functions, and to access externally-defined functions written in a language such as Java. The paragraph should be amended to describe these types of functions.
    • Section G.2, paragraph 5, sentence 1:
      • The sentence references OCL statements. The OCL specification describes a statement as something along the lines of an invariant (including the keyword inv) or a default attribute value. The correct term is "OCL expressions".
      • The sentence neglects to state that an OCL let expression can define a variable.
    • Section G.2, paragraph 7, sentence 2 reads "A top relation is executed by the system." A top relation may also be called in a where clause.
    • Section G.3, paragraph 6, sentence 2 reads "A process in a repository can link from one object to another via any property ..." The paragraph does not explain what "process" means.
    • Section G.3, paragraph 2, last sentence: the second clause should begin with "it".

Annex D needs complete models

  • Key: ODM12-122
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Institute for Defense Analyses ( Steven Wartik)
  • Summary:

    Annex D illustrates transforming between UML and OWL using an example that shows courses, students, their relationships, and their properties. The examples are presented in fragments throughout section D.2. Readers would benefit from access to complete UML and RDF models. Furthermore, these models being definitive, rigorous, and complete, they would be the basis for the figures and tables in Section D.2 (and perhaps elsewhere in Annex D).

    This issue includes two attachments:

    • Course-Student.mdzip is a UML class model. It can be opened using MagicDraw.
    • AnnexDExamples.rdf is an OWL 2 model expressed in RDF/XML format.

    These models are informative, not normative.

Some values of the rdf:esource attribute are incorrect

  • Key: ODM12-24
  • Legacy Issue Number: 19125
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Institute for Defense Analyses ( Steven Wartik)
  • Summary:

    Annex D has several OWL examples that use the rdf:resource attribute in which the attribute's value is, I think, meant to be prefixed with a "#". For example, in Table D-7,

    <rdfs:domain rdf:resource="Course"/>

    should be:

    <rdfs:domain rdf:resource="#Course"/>

Representation of Axioms

  • Key: ODM12-4
  • Legacy Issue Number: 19416
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    Representation of Axioms

    OWL2 uses Axioms to represent several capabilities, whereas ODM has them either as binary associations or not at all.

    In OWL these axioms are represented as a blank node so should have a metamodel element: that is necessary to allow the statement itself to be associated with an ontology/document.

    ODM has OWLAllDifferent which inherits from OWLClass which does not make sense.

    In the metamodel there should be a top level class representing Axiom with the following subclasses:

    • DifferentIndividuals (replaces association DifferentIndividual and class OWLAllDifferent)
    • SameIndividual (replaces association SameIndividual)

ODM metamodel needs a Package concept for managing a structure for ontologies

  • Key: ODM12-1
  • Legacy Issue Number: 19630
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    ODM metamodel needs a Package concept for managing a structure for ontologies, akin to the use of UML Packages in the Profile.

    In fact, the use of UML Packages in ontology models is outside the documented profile. There is nothing to say, for example, that the package structure should mirror the URI structure and/or whether it matters whether they differ.

    Despite the fact that the RDF/OWL languages do not have Package, they do make use of folders/directories in wither filestore or on the web.

    And ontologies like FIBO now have metadata at the package/folder level but neither the metamodel nor the profile provide any place to hang these.

    Finally packages provide a much-needed scoping mechanism for applying various operations – which become increasingly impractical as the number of leaf-level ontologies has already exceeded 400 for FIBO
