New CIF-ontology repository layout

Casper: Presented the new repository layout and naming.

DDL meta-ontology

Emanuele: Has been digging deeper into the definitions and relations of the CIF dictionaries, specifically the DDL. Wants to change/update the schema on this background. The main new point is the inclusion of “enumerations”. He basically developed an ontology for the DDL, i.e., the dictionary file that defines how dictionary files should be defined and expressed.

ROW versus PACKET

Rickard: In CIF-EMMO (emmo-repo/CIF-ontology) we want to stay close to the CIF naming terminology? James: Then TABLE should also be renamed to LOOP… Rickard & Saulius: We should stay as close to CIF terminology as possible. Conclusion: Rename to CIF terminology, i.e., LOOP and PACKET.

Reprise DDL meta-ontology

Long discussion about Emanuele’s new board and exercise of trying to describe the DDL. It will be included as a another layer to supplement cif_top.ttl.

From chat

In the chat of the meeting, some things were contributed and discussed.

Jesper has created a website to publish the various versions of the CIF-ontology: https://emmo-repo.github.io/CIF-ontology/

Emanuele: we can use CamelCase for OWL visualization and use a hasCIFName annotation to add the actual CIF name to the entity. This will make it searcheable with a SPARQL query.

Saulius: I would not tie the ontology descriptions to any particular programming languages – very soon you will end up in contradictory requirements...

There was also a discussion of sets versus lists, ordered collections, etc. The conclusion was to introduce LOOP as has part PACKET and is therefore an "unordered collection".
