[expand title=”bibTex Ontology”]

bibTex Ontology

• project webpage
• ontology
  • 15 classes
  • 40 data properties
  • DL expressivity: ALHN(D)
  • it is claimed to be followed by the BibBase Ontology

[expand title=”BibBase Ontology”]

• project webpage
• ontology
  • 33 classes
  • 12 object properties
  • 59 data properties
  • DL expressivity: ALHN(D)
  • notes:
    • some ontological classes are necessarily empty, i.e., in every model they are interpreted by the empty set, e.g., http://data.bibbase.org/ontology/owl/#Article
    • this is the result of the fact that the ontology contains properties that are both object properties and data properties, e.g., http://data.bibbase.org/ontology/owl/#hasAuthor
