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 Turtle syntax):

# RDF basics
@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
@prefix rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> .

Classes

Library

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

: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 ) .
