Recommendations and discussions on ontology and RDF framework development

Discussions and tools regarding the development of a minimal ontology for BONSAI.

This repo has been created as a common platform for all of the discussions.

The repo currently contains:

The documentation of current RDF schema proposed
Summary of the discussions leading to ontology development

A schema of the BONSAI ontology is given below:

BONSAI ontology

The ontology is updated in the sister repository: ontology

Current work is in the core ontology.

RDF Schema Graph and the Name spaces

Some Bonsai namespace URI examples are:

<http://rdf.bonsai.uno/activitytype/exiobase3_3_17/A_ALUM>
<http://rdf.bonsai.uno/flowobject/exiobase3_3_17/C_ADDC>
<http://rdf.bonsai.uno/location/exiobase3_3_17/WA> *

*: "WA" is a code from Exiobase used for a location/region that's not defined in other ontologies: "RoW: Asia and Pacific". Bonsai usually uses GeoNames references where possible.

Which follows the structure:

[generic]/[ontologyClassName]/[dataSource]/[code]

We use singular (flowobject not flowobjects).

Currently the following named graphs (and namespaces) are defined

Bonsai rdf schema to define activity, flow, flow objects
```
<http://ontology.bonsai.uno/core#>
```
URI for Time intervals
```
<http://rdf.bonsai.uno/time/>
```
URI for core activity types
```
<http://rdf.bonsai.uno/activitytype/core/>
```
Example <http://rdf.bonsai.uno/activitytype/core/Trade> Example <http://rdf.bonsai.uno/activitytype/core/Market> Example <http://rdf.bonsai.uno/activitytype/core/Transport>
Exiobase 3.3.17 URI to define the activity type instances
```
<http://rdf.bonsai.uno/activitytype/exiobase3_3_17/>
```
Exiobase 3.3.17 URI to define the flow object instances
```
<http://rdf.bonsai.uno/flowobject/exiobase3_3_17/>
```
Exiobase 3.3.17 URI to define unit of measures not defined in the OM ontology
```
<http://rdf.bonsai.uno/unit/exiobase3_3_17/>
```
Exiobase 3.3.17 URI to define the location instances that are not defined in GeoNames or other ontologies
```
<http://rdf.bonsai.uno/location/exiobase3_3_17/>
```
