RepresentingVCardinRDFOWL

Overview

This page is for discussion and development of the RDF/OWL Ontology for vCard.

The latest IETF vCard V.4 is documented in RFC6350

The lasted W3C IG NOTE vCard Ontology is http://www.w3.org/TR/vcard-rdf/

Discussion is undertaken on the SWIG email list.

Errata and Feedback on IG NOTE (updates TBC)

Support for free text field in Gender
(see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2014Jun/0022.html)

Support xsd:date for bday and anniversary 
(see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2014Jun/0134.html)

Support free text for bday and anniversary
 (see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2014Jun/0143.html)

Issue: xsd:gYear is not OWL2-DL (as used in bday and anni) - use xsd:integer ?
 (see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2014Jun/0145.html)

vCard Ontology Implementations

Add implementations/tools/services here of the vCard Ontology

Feedback/Updates (addressed in May 2014 Note release)

In the examples of RDFa, Turtle and JSON-LD in section 3, vcard:hasValue has a literal value which should be a URI (as an ObjectProperty)\
(see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2013Sep/0050.html)

Update JSON text and link to json file to serve 
(see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2013Nov/0002.html).

Add  lang (en) to all labels and comments also add a rdfs:definedBy pointing the ontology itself to every concept 
(see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2013Oct/0089.html)

Remove the deprecated statements, add comment that they have consistently named equivalents, along with equivalentProperty/equivalentClass axioms (only deprecate Agent, Class, long, lat, mailer) 
(see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2013Oct/0129.html)

Add gYear to range for birthdate and anniversary 
(see http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/semantic-web/2014Feb/0054.html).

Feedback/Updates (addressed in Sept 2013 WD)

Include JSON Example [1]

If we keep the same URI namespace, add equivalent properties/classes (where it makes sense) [2]
Add Appendix with a mapping to old terms (and a rationale) and deprecated terms

Add a "+" before the country code in the telephone examples
Change datatype for telephone to union of xsd:string and xsd:anyURI so both can appear (Michael Angstadt, ietf)

Add more description for the purpose of the relational (v direct) properties. See [3]
Remove the Domains from all the direct properties
Remove the dp: op: class: prefixes from the Tables
Section discussing the relationship between this and existing vocabularies such as foaf and ORG.
Fix up all labels...especially "has"

Add descriptive text to the Examples explaining why we used the relations/direct approach [4]
Remove mailto: from the Examples

Fix Location class - geo and/or address properties

Fix OrganizationName label [5]
