Library Ontology Concepts

This page collects some concepts (classes and properties) of the [[Library Ontology]]. To refer to other ontolgies the following namespace prefixes are defined (all in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_(syntax) Turtle syntax]):

<pre>
# RDF basics

</pre>

In addition <tt>mfc:</tt> refers to the [http://www.loc.gov/marc/community/eccihome.html MARC 21 Format for Community Information] which is not an ontology at all - but at least you can point to some existing MARC fields. For instance <tt>mfc:270$k</tt> is the telephone number (which can better be expressed as <tt>vcard:tel</tt> in RDF). In the same way <tt>zeta:</tt> refers to the ZETA cataloging format in PICA+ which is used by the German Sigelverzeichnis (see [http://www.zeitschriftendatenbank.de/erschliessung/arbeitsunterlagen/zeta.html#c10787 their rules]). For instance the telephone number is <tt>zeta:035B$a</tt>.

== Classes ==
=== Library ===
A library can be a collection, an organization, or a place.

<pre>
:Library rdf:type owl:Class ;
rdfs:subClassOf [
rdf:type owl:Class ;
owl:unionOf ( bibo:Collection foaf:Organization geo:SpatialThing )
] .

:LibraryBuilding rdf:type owl:Class ;
rdfs:subClassOf :Library , geo:SpatialThing ;
owl:intersectionOf ( :Library , geo:SpatialThing ) .

:LibraryOrganization rdf:type owl:Class ;
rdfs:subClassOf :Library , foaf:Organization ;
owl:intersectionOf ( :Library , foaf:Organization ) .

:LibraryCollection rdf:type owl:Class ;
rdfs:subClassOf :Library , bibo:Collection .
owl:intersectionOf ( :Library , bibo:Collection ) .
</pre>

=== Addresses ===
The Library Ontology does not define address classes and properties because there already is vCard.

=== Library Services ===
See DAIA (see http://purl.org/ontology/daia/ and [http://www.gbv.de/wikis/cls/DAIA_Format/RDF some notes])

=== Other concepts ===
holding, store, stack, loan...

== Properties ==

=== FRBR simplified ===

* libo:exemplar can link a work, expression or manifestation to an item
* libo:exemplarOf implies beeing a frbr:item but nothing less

=== Identifiers ===
<pre>
:isil rdf:type owl:DatatypeProperty ;
rdfs:subClassOf dct:identifier .
</pre>
There is an authority file for libraries and similar organisations as Linked Data: [http://lobid.org/organisation lobid-organisations]

=== Relationships between Libraries and their collections ===

* owns ?
* holds ?
* provides ?

=== Relationships between Libraries ===
Libraries can be and have subordinate entities which do not need to be libraries. Libraries can split and join. Libraries can be friends ;-)

* dct:hasPart/dct:isPartOf
* foaf:knows
* branch? subunit? partner?
