Overview

This page is for discussion and development of an OWL Ontology for vCard.

Currently, the W3C Member Submission on Representing vCard Object in RDF covers vCard 3.0 (aka RFC2426).

The latest vCard V.4 is documented in RFC6350

The new specification will be published as a W3C Semantic Web Interest Group (SWIG) Note.

Discussion is undertaken on the SWIG email list.

The current editors are Renato Iannella and James McKinney

Mapping from the RFC

In order to create the OWL ontology mapping from RFC6350, some changes are made to reflect the support of RDF/OWL features, linked data principles, ontology reuse, and future scenarios. No semantics are changed in the mapping.

All the data types defined in the RFC are fully supported, as XML Schema dataypes.

Design Issues:

• Mention the n-ary and direct relation mechanism.

Property Parameters

These properties can apply to most (but not all) vCard properties. NOTE: we should list them

RFC Property	Note	OWL Class	Parent	Relation	Direct
LANGUAGE	the human language used in the related property				dp:language xsd:anyURI
VALUE	Not Required as this is implicit on the ontology
PREF	A number (1-100) to show the preference level of the property. Can we use an ref:Seq ?				dp:preference xsd:integer
ALTID	Perhaps use owl:sameAs ?
PID	Not required
TYPE	See the Context Codes. (Type is too generic, so renamed to context)				dp:context xsd:anyURI
MEDIATYPE	Do we need this?

SORT-AS	Do we need this?
GEO	The geography related to the property value (geo URI)				dp:geo xsd:anyURI
TZ	The timezone related to the property value				dp:timezone xsd:string

General Properties
