Ontology Versioning- ebXML RegRep Profile for Web Ontology Language (OWL) 2.0

[carl mattocks <carlmattocks@gmail.com>]

Regarding Ontology Versioning section in ebXML RegRep Profile for Web Ontology Language (OWL) 2.0

 

 

(1) We should require use of a specific Version Resource Identifier that is based on the IRI proposed for OWL 2.

 

OWL 2 uses Internationalized Resource Identifiers (IRIs) [RFC3987] for identifying ontologies and their elements. ..... Each OWL 2 ontology may have an ontology IRI, which is used to identify the ontology. An OWL 2 ontology may also have a version IRI, which is used to identify a particular version of the ontology. http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-owl2-new-features-20090611/

 

(2)  To support queries of a Multiple Version Ontology we can promote use of  Boolean with Temporal Operators

 

•Boolean operators: negation, conjunction, etc.

•Temporal operators (Backlooking operators)

•Prevj : j holds in the previous version

•Pj:    j holds in a prior version(Sometimes in the past)

•Hj:     j holds in all prior versions (Always in the past)

•jSf:     j  always holds in the prior versions since f holds in a prior version
