Hi:
We recently published a new section on the nature.com site: 'nature.com
ontologies'. This site describes the RDF ontologies used by Macmillan Science
and Education for content publishing. The site is located at:
http://www.nature.com/ontologies
This is a continuation of our previous work at data.nature.com [1,2]. We have
improved our core model and related domain models and are now starting to make
these available in a new release.
This 2015-03-30 release includes a core model:
* Core Ontology - An OWL ontology defining the classes and properties used
by Macmillan S&E
together with the following domain models:
* Blogs Ontology - A SKOS taxonomy detailing the blogs published by
Macmillan S&E
* Journals Ontology - A SKOS taxonomy detailing the journals published by
Macmillan S&E
* Subjects Ontology - A SKOS taxonomy detailing the subject areas used to
categorize publications by Macmillan S&E
We are making these available both for inspection and download. The core model
is available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) license, and
the domain models under a Creative Commons Zero 1.0 (CC0 1.0) waiver.
It should be noted that what we are releasing here is a subset of the actual
Core Ontology used in our content production systems. It is expected that there
will be periodical enhancements and additions to it based on new datasets.
We also expect to complement these datasets with new releases of the article
metadata for the full nature.com archive in the coming months.
Comments and feedback are welcome. In particular, we are interested in
enriching our data with links to other datasets and would very much appreciate
any suggestions from the community.
