Dublin Core Ontology
| Id: | dublin-core-ontology |
| Version: | 1.0 |
| Description: | A translation of the Dublin Core element set into SHOE. The Dublin Core element set defines a set of metadata elements for cataloging library items and other electronic resources. This ontology is only an example. It is not even remotely intended for real use, and the ontology itself may change without warning. The specifics of the Dublin Core Element Set are in flux, and even as we speak, this ontology is out of date. |

Organization of this Document
This ontology is declared in this document both in human-readable form (what you see in front of you now) and machine-readable SHOE form (which you can see from viewing the html source of this document). The rest of this document is divided into the following sections:
- Discussion
- Extended Ontologies
- Renames
- Categories
- Relationships
- Inferences
- Declarators Constants and Predefined Relations
- Definitions

Discussion
The Dublin Core element set defines a set of metadata elements for cataloging library items and other electronic resources. Such items are known as "resources", and there exist certain relationships (Dublin Core calls these relationships "elements") between resources and other resources or data. The Dublin Core elements are: TITLE, CREATOR, SUBJECT, DESCRIPTION, PUBLISHER, CONTRIBUTOR, DATE, TYPE, FORMAT, IDENTIFIER, SOURCE, LANGUAGE, RELATION, COVERAGE, and RIGHTS. 数据挖掘研究院
These elements have currently been implemented in SHOE as binary relations between a Resource and a .STRING, with the following caveats and exceptions: 数据挖掘研究院
- TITLE
- ...is synonymous with base.name
- DESCRIPTION
- ...is synonymous with base.description
- DATE
- ...is a binary relationship between a Resource and a .DATE
- TYPE
- ...is a binary relationship between a Resource and a Type. Following
- FORMAT
- ...is a binary relationship between a Resource and a Format. Dublin has not formally defined (or even suggested) a collection of Formats, so we don′t define any in this ontology, though you are welcome to define some yourself.
- RELATION
- ...is a 3-ary relationship between a Relation, and two Resources. Dublin has not formally defined (or even suggested) a collection of Relations, so we don′t define any in this ontology, though you are welcome to define some yourself.
Extended Ontologies
The following ontologies are extended by the current ontology: 数据挖掘研究院
Renames
This ontology has renamed the following objects from other ontologies: 数据挖掘研究院
Object Renamed From ================================================================ title base.name description base.description
Categories
The following taxonomy is the collection of categories declared in this ontology. The hierarchical form is intended to show the ISA chain. Categories in [Brackets] are not defined here but are defined in an ontology extended by this one. Elements in {Braces} are additional supercategories of the category immediately before them (signifying multiple inheritance).
[base.Entity] [base.SHOEEntity] DublinCoreEntity Resource Type Format Relation

Relationships
Relationships are declared between one or more arguments. Relationship arguments are either types or are categories. If the argument is a category, any subcategory of that category is valid as well. 数据挖掘实验室

Inferences
This ontology defines some inferences which may be useful to agents:
- Types are Inferred Types
- If type(x,y) then inferredType(x,y)
- InferredType is transitive along type parents
- If inferredType(x,y) and typeParent(y,z), then inferredType(x,z)
Declarators Constants and Predefined Relations
This ontology has defined the following constants. The hierarchy implied in the constant definitions below indicates that the relational claim typeParent(child,parent) has been made between the constant and its parent constant in the hierarchy. This claim was made by the instance http://www.cs.umd.edu/projects/plus/SHOE/onts/dublin.html, which is a declarator for the ontology.
