Common Ontologies for Semantic Web Domain Modeling
Below is a list of the ontologies I am currently using for semantic web domain modeling.
Core Ontologies
- RDF Vocabulary The RDF Schema for the RDF vocabulary defined in the RDF namespace xmlns:rdf=”http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#”
- RDFS The RDF Schema vocabulary xmlns:rdfs=”http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#”
- XML Schema xmlns:xsd=”http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#”
- OWL Web Ontology Language xmlns:owl=”http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#”
- Dublin Core xmlns:dc=”http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/”
- Dublin Core Metadata Terms xmlns:dct=”http://purl.org/dc/terms
Common Ontologies
- FOAF (Friend of a Friend) xmlns:foaf=”http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/”
- Basic Geo Vocabulary xmlns:geo=”http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#”
- Geonames (Overview) xmlns:gn=”http://www.geonames.org/ontology#” Use the web service to get a geonameId, e.g. http://ws.geonames.org/search?country=nz lists main New Zealand features.
Wellington is http://www.geonames.org/2179538/about.rdf. Search for specific places in a country using a query such as http://ws.geonames.org/search?q=Breaker%20Bay&country=NZ which finds Breaker Bay in New Zealand (geonameId = 6244700). Also an example linking geonames in a FOAF file. - Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS) xmlns:skos=”http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#”
- SIOC (Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities) Core Ontology xmlns:sioc=”http://rdfs.org/sioc/ns#”
- vCard (Personal information including address) xmlns:vcard=”http://www.w3.org/2001/vcard-rdf/3.0#”
- iCal (RDF Calendar) xmlns:ical=”http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/ical#”
- DOAP (Description of a Project) xmlns:doap=”http://usefulinc.com/ns/doap#”
