DiProMagOntology

Project Description

This ontology encompasses the semantic modeling of the entire process chain, including production, characterization, and prototypical application. 

As part of the DiProMag project, a novel approach for ontology engineering with OTTR templates was developed. 

You can find the developed OTTR templates, OTTR instances holding real data, alongside the DiProMag ontology in this repository. 

The ontology can be created by instantiating the OTTR templates. The results of the instantiation can be found in instances/*. We have reduced the output to the T-Box you can find in dipromag.ttl with the Perl script extract-tbox.pl. The T-Box merged with the metadata leads to dmco.ttl.

The documentation for using the templates can be found in doc_manual. The automatically generated OTTR documentation can be found in doc.

The OTTR documentation can be generated by running the following commands: java -jar lutra.jar --library template_library --fetchMissing --mode=docttrLibrary -o ./doc/ --debugStackTrace, 

Generate ttl files: java -jar lutra.jar --library template_library --fetchMissing --mode=formatLibrary -o ./lib_ttl/ --debugStackTrace
Generate individual stOTTR files: java -jar lutra.jar --library template_library --fetchMissing --mode=formatLibrary -o ./lib_stottr/ --debugStackTrace -O=stottr

Usage

Install Lutra according to the official documentation and place the jar file inside the root folder of this repository or use the provided jar file. 

Instantiate templates (real data collected through experiments during DiProMag): 
java -jar lutra.jar --library template_library/ --fetchMissing --inputFormat stottr instances/*

Run instantiation unit tests (random data): 
java -jar lutra.jar --library template_library/ --fetchMissing --inputFormat stottr unit_tests/*

The resulting T-Box can be found in dmco-tbox.ttl, metadata in metadata.ttl, and an ontology generated through template calls with real data in dipromag.ttl.
