Metadata for OWL file #51

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Proposal to add complete metadata to the OWL file - see 
http://obi-ontology.org/page/Releases/How_OBI_is_versioned for an example. 
Requires creation of corresponding PURLs.

Agree that adding formal representation of metadata to the OWL file is a good 
thing.  Less convinced that using dates for versions is a good way forward 
though.  I guess it will do for now, but in the longer term I think dates are 
simply not informative enough for end users.  Kendal Clark has a nice post here 
about why ontologies should have informative release numbers.

I'd also support including a VCS revision number in the release data, as 
suggested by Melanie in her comment here:
