ISSUE-5: Delivery of the SSN XG ontology and of examples in separate files
Separation of examples
Delivery of the SSN XG ontology and of examples in separate files
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- W3C Semantic Sensor Network Ontology
- Raised by:
- Laurent Lefort
- Opened on:
- 2010-06-07
- Description:
- The last version of the SSN Ontology published on the mailing list (SensorBasis_withaccuracy.owl) extends the previously available SensorBasis.owl with an example which illustrates how to specify the MeasurementCapabilities of a sensor.
This packaging of the OWL file will hamper the delivery of future versions of the ontology. Can we deliver the SSN XG ontology and its examples in separate files?
Background and foreground information to support the discussion:
Identification of the ontology sub-parts

Tracking of previously published versions of the SSN ontology (and identification of some of the associated configuration management issues):

Related notes:
To avoid to have a large number of OWL files to maintain but at the same time being able to browse at the examples by themes, the XG will use rdfs:seeAlso annotations to flag the different aspects of the ontology and also of the examples. These annotations can be used to reorder an OWL file content into thematic sub-parts.
This can be done using an XSLT script which has originally been developed to check the annotations before the documentation is generated with the tools described in this wiki page: http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/wiki/Ontology_documentation_and_metadata
No longer an issue thanks to improvement in the packaging of the ontology resulting from ACTION 33 http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ssn/track/actions/33
