OLiA ontologies

This page enumerates the ontologies that are currently available. Officially, none of them has been released. They will be released under a Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike licence as soon as a reference publication has appeared. Until then, feel free to make use of them, but it would be nice to be notified if this happens. As a reference, see the ontology-relevant publications under http://www.sfb632.uni-potsdam.de/~chiarcos, and some remarks on the background of the OLiA ontologies. Besides the ontologies listed below, there are a number of experimental ontologies, e.g., concerning further annotation schemes, the linking with GOLD and the ISO TC37/SC4 Data Category Registry, and additional phenomena (discourse, coreference). Please contact Christian Chiarcos (FIRSTNAME_IN_LOWERCASE [DOT] LASTNAME_IN_LOWERCASE [AT] web [DOT] de) if you’re interested in these.

The OLiA architecture is a set of modular OWL/DL ontologies with ontological models of annotation schemes (Annotation Models) on the one hand, an ontology of reference terms (Reference Model) on the other hand, and ontologies (Linking Models) that implement subClassOf relationships between them.

Some remarks on viewing and browsing the ontologies: For browsing the OLiA ontologies, I recommend

OwlSight is a light-weight online browser for ontologies (recommended only for taking a first look on the ontologies), or
Protégé is an JAVA-based ontology browser and editor (recommended for browsing, requires installation)

Both ontology browsers accept the URLs given below (insert by copy and paste).
