Abstract

The Research Object Evolution Ontology (roevo) extends the ro ontology to capture the lifecycle and versioning of research objects. ro ontology and other extensions are described at http://wf4ever.github.io/ro/.

roevo is also an extension of PROV ontology for describing Research Object evolution provenance. PROV ontology is described at http://www.w3.org/TR/prov-o/.

Introduction

The Research Object Evolution Ontology (roevo) extends the ro ontology to capture the lifecycle and versioning of research objects (ROs). roevo is also an extension of PROV ontology for describing Research Object evolution provenance.

roevo enables the representation of the different stages of the ROs lifecycle, their dependencies, as well as the corresponding versions of ROs and their aggregated resources, with the associated changes in these resources.

roevo follows a modular approach, enabling the creation of extensions for modeling detailed taxonomies of changes for particular resources, e.g., workflows.

Additional information about roevo and background information is available at http://www.wf4ever-project.org/wiki/display/docs/RO+evolution

Classes

Additionc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roevo#Addition

A type of roevo:Change that changes the aggregation, content and/or structure of the Research Object by adding a resources or an annotation

has super-classes
Changec

ArchivedROc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roevo#ArchivedRO

A subclass of ro:ResearchObject representing a type of Research Object in archival state. It is also a subclass of prov:Entity as this is a type of artifact with fixed aspects and for which we want to provide provenance.

Archived ROs represent the final stage of a RO (release) where it has either reached a version that the author prescribes to be stable and meaningful and is appropriate for publication and long-term preservation, or it has been deprecated. They are therefore immutable, with no further changes or versions allowed

prov:Entity

Changec back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roevo#Change

A prov:Activity that changes the Research Object (RO) aggregation, content, structure, or the annotations about the RO or its aggregated resources.

ChangeSpecificationc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roevo#ChangeSpecification

A collection of roevo:Changes activities representing the set of changes in a Research Object between two different versions

has super-classes
prov:Activity
is in domain of
fromVersionop, hasChangeop, toVersionop
is in range of
wasChangedByop

LiveROc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roevo#LiveRO

A subclass of ro:ResearchObject representing a type of Research Object in live state. It is also a subclass of prov:Entity as this is a type of artifact with fixed aspects and for which we want to provide provenance.

Live ROs represent a work in progress. They are thus mutable as the content or state of their resources may change.

ro:ResearchObjectc
prov:Entity

hasArchiveop, hasSnapshotop

Modificationc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roevo#Modification

A type of roevo:Change that modifies the aggregation, content and/or structure of the Research Object by updating an aggregated resource content or an existing annotation

has super-classes
Changec

Removalc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roevo#Removal

A type of roevo:Change that changes the aggregation, content and/or structure of the Research Object by removing a resources or an annotation

has super-classes
Changec

ro:AggregatedAnnotationc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/ro#AggregatedAnnotation

has super-classes
ao:annotatesResourceop some Changec or ChangeSpecificationc or VersionableResourcec

SnapshotROc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roevo#SnapshotRO

A subclass of ro:ResearchObject representing a type of Research Object in snapshot state. It is also a subclass of prov:Entity as this is a type of artifact with fixed aspects and for which we want to provide provenance.

Snapshot ROs are intended as a record of past activity, ready to be disseminated as a whole. They are immutable, and reflect the state of the Live RO at a certain time.

VersionableResourcec back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roevo#VersionableResource

A prov:Entity representing a type of artifact that may be versioned and for which we want to track its different versions. This class is equivalent to the union of roevo:SnapshotRO, roevo:ArchivedRO, ro:Resource and ro:AggregatedAnnotation that are the artifacts for which we want to track their versions.
