Ontology for Chronological Processes
This ontology is based on the OWL-Time ontology (Cox & Little) - in appreciation of their great work! OCP serves as an extension of the OWL-Time ontology, adding a variety of classes, datatype properties and object properties to better describe ongoing and unfinished processes. Major contributions include:
New classes:
- ocp:process
- ocp:cycle
- ocp:phase
- ocp:transition
New object properties:
-
extended relative start/end description
- ocp:beginsAfter , ocp:beginsBefore , ocp:beginsWith
- ocp:endsAfter , ocp:endsBefore , ocp:endsWith
-
explicit distiction between actual and estimated time references
- ocp:hasActualBeginning , ocp:hasActualEnd
- ocp:hasEstimatedBeginning , ocp:hasEstimatedEnd
-
OCP-class-related process description properties
- ocp:startsCycle , ocp:startsPhase
- ocp:endsCycle , ocp:endsPhase
- ocp:isInPhase
- ocp:belongsToCycle , ocp:belongsToInstant , ocp:belongsToPhase , ocp:belongsToProcess
New datatype properties:
-
explicit distinction between actual and estimated time stamps
- ocp:hasActualTime , ocp:hasEstimatedTime
-
OCP-class-related element information properties
- ocp:hasCycleNumber
- ocp:hasProcessID
