Add version info to vivo.owl metadata #63

Open hauschke opened 1 week ago

hauschke commented 1 week ago

What is the motivation for your change request? The VIVO Ontology needs more metadata to be FAIR, machine-readable and -actionable. Version information is key for this.

This issue was previously contained in https://github.com/vivo-ontologies/vivo-ontology/issues/22

Describe the solution you'd like Technically this could be done by using the following owl statement. <owl:versionInfo>1.17.0</owl:versionInfo>

However, it has to be decided when the version info is being updated, and to what. Key question: Is it only changed for releases? Will we use a term like SNAPSHOT as a suffix to make it obvious that the vivo.owl has changed since the release?

Additional context

(As discussed on 04.12 ontology call.) Yes, it seems like a good idea to use the -SNAPSHOT suffix until there is a formal release.
