Hi Everyone,
are there any recommendations or guidelines how to implement the DC
elements and DC terms qualifiers in OWL DL?
As a part of my diploma thesis I'm developing a Java program (using
Jena) to manage meta data of various kinds of documents. The DC seems
very suitable to fit the requirements, however, I have to implement the
used ontology (mainly DC and FOAF) in OWL Lite/DL to be able to use
extended inference capabilities.
Especially the explicit mapping of the generic rdf:Property to either
owl:DatatypeProperty or owl:ObjectProperty and the (possibly) resulting
conflicts in the property hierarchy are problematic.
At the moment I'm using my own "OWL port" of the DC elements and terms,
but this solution is closely tied up with the ontology I've created. A
more "general" attempt would be nice.
Any help is appreciated!
Many thanks,
