nomenclature ontology: building

[myrmoteras]

EXTERNAL SENDER

Hi Lyubo,

Not sure this will be helpful, but see:

https://github.com/plazi/ontologies/blob/master/treatment.owl

This seems to be used by the rdf files under

https://github.com/plazi/treatments-rdf/blob/main/data.

which are used by synospecies.

I extracted all the "trt:" terms actually in the ttl files in under the data repo and came up with this list of unique terms:

augmentsTaxonConcept
citesTaxonName
definesTaxonConcept
deprecates
gbifOccurrenceId
gbifSpecimenId
hasParentName
hasTaxonName
publishedIn
treatsTaxonName

I remember also there being an provisional OWL ontology for nomenclatural terms developed (I think) by Paul Morris way back. A copy is in the Plazi ontologies repo:

https://github.com/plazi/ontologies/blob/master/ontologies/taxonomic_nomenclatural_status_terms.owl

Please let me know if this helps. Im sure Reto knows much more and better.

/Terry

Hi Donat and Terry,

II have a question, please. Are you aware about ontologies that models the nomenclatural acts, e.g. of the type Taxon concept ID (Aus bus) is JuniorSynonym of Taxon concept ID (Bus Cus). I am especially interested in the predicate, and especially if it is available through an ontology API delivering IDs and http links to each term or relationships?

I would be thankful if you send me a hint, if such exists. For example what kind of ontology do you use for Synospecies?

Best regards,

Lyubo
