Background

This was spawned by JIRA issue:  FLT-52 - Use of SKOS Concepts in FIBO IN PROGRESS

There are two separate but related issues:

  1. How and when should skos:Concept be used in FIBO?
  2. How to represent concepts that are used to classify things, when you do not want to use owl:Class, and what criteria can be used to decide which approach to use.

This started when I thought one way to answer the first part of question 2 is to use skos:Concept. It was decided to not do that, instead, to use existing FIBO terms.

Below I summarize the discussion on the first issue.

Here is a discussion on the second issue above: When to use Classes vs. Classifiers.

Summary: skos:Concept

It was decided that we will not use skos:Concept for FIBO. Instead we will either create classes directly in owl, or we will us the existing FIBO classification vocabulary: 

  • fibo-fnd-arr-cls:Classifier
  • fibo-fnd-rel:isClassifiedBy
  • No labels
