Updated with new release Version IRI

...

  • For the given IRI: https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/supplychain

  • The protocol: https

  • The authority: spec.industrialontologies.org

  • The development authority: dev.industrialontologies.org

The authority MUST be a domain administered and owned by the IOF or its parent organization. The IOF MUST choose a single authority for all ontologies released by the IOF. The authority MUST be spec.industrialontologies.org unless it is not possible due to technical reasons. Otherwise, the authority may begin with an alternative such as spec.industrialontologies.org or onto.industrialontologies.org.

IRI Path

In accordance with IETF RFC 3987, the Path component of the IRI MUST immediately follow the authority starting with a forward-slash (/), and the Path parts MUST be separated by forward-slashes (/). The first part of the Path is referred to as the Path Root.

...

IOF ontologies MUST provide a non-version IRI (referred to as the IRI) and version IRI in the RDF/XML serialized OWL XML file.

Development and release version IRIs differ where development ontologies are stamped using a year, month, and day (date version) as opposed to the release version IRIs composed of a year and a increasing number (numeric version). All ontologies released together MUST have the same year and number.

Development IRI

The development version IRI MUST use the date of the version in YYYYMMDD form, such as 20210601 for June 1, 2021. When a versioned IRI is formed, the date MUST appear after the topic. In the following examples, the sub-topic area is given to illustrate the placement of the version (see next section: Sub-Topic). All sub-topics and modules within a topic MUST share a common version date and be released together. Development ontologies are versioned based on dates.

All versions in GitHub use the development IRI. The publication and release process replaces the version IRI.

The non-versioned IRI MUST always reference the latest released version of the ontology.

  • Versioned IRI: https://specdev.industrialontologies.org/ontology/supplychain/2021062120220821/meta

  • Non-Versioned IRI: https://specdev.industrialontologies.org/ontology/supplychain/meta

Public Release IRI

The development publicly released version IRI MUST use a numeric version formed with the release year and a monotonically increasing number NN in YYYYNN form, such as 202202 for the second release in 2022. If the IOF releases every quarter, NN represents the quarter when the ontology was released. When a versioned IRI is formed, the version MUST appear after the topic. In the following examples, the sub-topic area is given to illustrate the placement of the version (see next section: Sub-Topic). All IOF ontologies that are part of a release MUST share a common numeric version.

This version IRI will be automatically changed during the release and publication process. The version IRI in GitHub will not be changed by the publication process.

The non-versioned IRI MUST always reference the latest released version of the ontology.
