[esip-semanticweb] Mapping between CLEAN and SWEET or GCMD

Mon Apr 1 15:52:41 EDT 2013

We were working a bit on the mapping between two SKOS vocabularies, namely
CLEAN and GCMD, and we focused on the instance to instance mapping.

Personally I was thinking to focus on the mapping between instances of
'skos:Concept' and instances of subclasses of 'owl:Class', just do not want
to make myself confused between instance and class.

Some resources w.r.t. this issue, perhaps you already have them.

A document discussing OWL and SKOS:
http://www.w3.org/2006/07/SWD/SKOS/skos-and-owl/master.html

And there is a tool that can covert OWL ontologies to SKOS vocabularies:
http://owl.cs.manchester.ac.uk/owltoskos/

Thanks,

I haven't delved into the problem recently, but I think the current trick is
'punning', in which an element it treated as either a class or an instance
depending on the context.

Marshall, Steve, all,

Did you all ever come up with a best practice for bridging the SKOS-OWL
divide, as discussed below?  Back in the OWL 1.0 days I know this was, like,
unbridgeable, but with 2.0 I think the experts were talking about creating a
relation that appropriately related SKOS terms to OWL concepts. But then I
had to pay attention to other things....

The SKOS-OWL is particularly interesting to me (instance vs. class). I've
wrestled with this trying to figure out how to bind the CGI GeoScience
vocabularies ( <http://resource.geosciml.org/201202/>
http://resource.geosciml.org/201202/) with OWL (e.g. SimpleLithology2012
with
<https://www.seegrid.csiro.au/subversion/CGI_CDTGVocabulary/trunk/OwlWork/CG
I_Lithology.owl> CGI_Lithology.owl).

The issue emerges again in an ontology for geologic map unit integration
I've been working on. If you're at the Geological Society of America Meeting
in Charlotte next week, come and visit my poster

Subject: [esip-semanticweb] Mapping between CLEAN and SWEET or GCMD

We want to test the mapping between non-specialist vocabularies and
specialist vocabularies. A good example can be the mapping between CLEAN
vocabulary and SWEET ontology or GCMD keywords.

Anyone has done/thought this work before or, any ideas on the following
questions? Thanks.

* CLEAN is a non-specialist vocabulary for climate and energy

** ref:  <http://cleanet.org/clean/about/climate_energy_.html>
http://cleanet.org/clean/about/climate_energy_.html

** A SKOS encoding of CLEAN vocabulary seralized in turtle format:
<https://scm.escience.rpi.edu/svn/public/projects/gcis/branches/initial_rdf/
skos/clean.ttl>
https://scm.escience.rpi.edu/svn/public/projects/gcis/branches/initial_rdf/s
kos/clean.ttl

* [Question 1 ] Mapping between CLEAN vocabulary and SWEET?

** We have experience on mapping between two skos vocabularies: using
skos:broadMatch, skos:narrowMatch, etc.

** SWEET is in OWL encoding

*** Comparison between a skos concept and an owl class

*** Anyone has experience on mapping between skos and owl?

* [Question 2] Or, we can try to map between CLEAN vocabulary and GCMD
keywords?

** GCMD keywords has its version 7.0 in SKOS encoding:
