2 weeks ago EDMC have made large long-standing ontology development efforts, in particular FIBO. I think they have some good examples to follow:
- EDMC "hygiene checks": https://github.com/edmcouncil/fibo/tree/master/etc/testing/hygiene_parameterized
These may be useful:
- https://github.com/edmcouncil/fibo/tree/master/etc/testing/test-strategy (I haven't read these docs)
- https://github.com/edmcouncil/fibo/blob/master/ONTOLOGY_GUIDE.md is an extensive set of good practices. I particularly like
- "how to write definitions" (and have more advice I can bring in)
- "how to define more reusable props"
We're discussing a similar issue for the electrical CIM/CGMES/NC ontologies, which are very large and developed as a UML model: https://github.com/Sveino/Inst4CIM-KG/issues/59.
@ocorcho @marinaaguadocastrillo @gatemezing @Interoperable-data What do you think?
For problems that involve numerous terms (or may reoccur in the future), establish SPARQL or SHACL checks. (FIBO calls such checks "hygiene", others call them "sanity"). Quite often, in addition to SPARQL/SHACL, you'd also need a list of allowed exceptions.
Here's a tentative list; I'll add checkboxes as I encounter more cases:
ping @gatemezing , @Interoperable-data : this is a complex but important task
