Overview

This is one module of Provenance Vocabulary

• Provenance Vocabulary Core OWL Ontology http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns.rdf
• Provenance Vocabulary Types OWL Ontology - http://purl.org/net/provenance/types.rdf
• Provenance Vocabulary Integrity Verification OWL Ontology - http://purl.org/net/provenance/integrity.rdf

Note: this ontology use OWL2 features.

• class hierarchy
• property hierarchy

disjointed classes

<owl:Class rdf:about="http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns#Execution">
 <owl:disjointWith rdf:resource="http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns#Actor"/>
 <owl:disjointWith rdf:resource="http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns#Artifact"/>

 <rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource="http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns"/>
 <rdfs:label xml:lang="en">Execution</rdfs:label>
 <rdfs:comment rdf:parseType="Literal">Execution is a general class that represents completed executions of actions or processes.
  An execution is usually performed by an actor (see the class <a href="#Actor">  Actor</a>) and an execution, in most cases, 
  yielded an artifact (see the class <a href="#Artifact" >Artifact</a>).</rdfs:comment>
</owl:Class>

complex relation

prv:Execution is an execution of a procedure.

property chain inference

owl:inverseOf was used within owl:propertyChainAxiom to enable OWL2 property chain inference

      <owl:ObjectProperty rdf:about="http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns#usedData">

        <rdfs:domain rdf:resource="http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns#DataCreation"/>
        <owl:propertyChainAxiom rdf:parseType="Collection">
          <rdf:Description rdf:about="http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns#usedFile"/>
          <owl:ObjectProperty rdf:nodeID="TvhRqeZa17">
            <owl:inverseOf rdf:resource="http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns#encodedBy"/>
          </owl:ObjectProperty>
        </owl:propertyChainAxiom>
        <rdfs:comment xml:lang="en">This property refers to a source data item that has been used during the creation of a data item. Examples for source data are the content of a document used for machine learning, the statements in a knowledge base used to entail a new statement, and the entries in a database used to answer a query. Notice, all source data has provenance; we strongly encourage to describe this provenance as well, at least as far as available information permits.</rdfs:comment>

        <rdfs:subPropertyOf rdf:resource="http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns#employedArtifact"/>
        <rdfs:range rdf:resource="http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns#DataItem"/>
        <rdfs:label xml:lang="en">used</rdfs:label>
        <rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource="http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns"/>
      </owl:ObjectProperty>

mapping to other ontology

the following features were used

• owl:equivalentClass
• rdfs:subClassOf
• rdfs:subPropertyOf

 <owl:Class rdf:about="http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns#Actor">
            <owl:equivalentClass>
              <owl:Class rdf:about="http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Agent"/>
            </owl:equivalentClass>

            <rdfs:isDefinedBy rdf:resource="http://purl.org/net/provenance/ns"/>
            <rdfs:label xml:lang="en">Actor</rdfs:label>
            <rdfs:comment rdf:parseType="Literal">Actor is a general class that represents actors which usually performed the execution (see the class <a href="#Execution" xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Execution</a>) of an action or a process.</rdfs:comment>
          </owl:Class>

Semantic Web Language Feature Usage

Below are some general information about this ontology. The analytical results are generated based on Semantic Web Ontology Analysis Techniques.

RDF

{{#vardefine:ns| }}{{#vardefine:p|number of triples }}{{#vardefine:v|303 }}

OWL

{{#vardefine:ns| }}{{#vardefine:p|OWL Species }}{{#vardefine:v|Full }} {{#vardefine:ns| }}{{#vardefine:p|DL Expressivity }}{{#vardefine:v|ALCRI(D) }}

AL - Attribute Logic: Conjunction, Universal Value Restriction, Limited Existential Quantification 
C - Complement (together with AL allows Disjunction, Full Existential Quantification) 
H - Role Hierarchy 
R – Complex role inclusions 
I - Role Inverse
(D) - Datatypes
