Hi Catia,
Thanks for the reference, which I had not inspected before. This seems
to be more analogous to something like SIOC than for characterizing
entity attributes, no?
Thanks, Mike

Hi All,
I have been looking for an ontology that organizes and describes
possible characteristics or attributes for common entity types, such
as what might be found in a key-value pair in Wikipedia infoboxes
and such.
I have had no luck finding such a vocabulary or ontology. The
closest representation I found was one related to sensors and the
Internet of Things (IoT) [1]. The Wolfram Language also has an
interesting structure around units [2]. Biperpedia has recently been
discussed by Google [3], but no actual ontology or structure yet
appears available for inspection.
Does anyone know of a general ontology for capturing record/entity
attributes or characteristics (properties)? I know some domains like
biomedical may have partial approaches to this, but I'm seeking
something that has as its intent being a general-purpose attribute
reference.
Suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
