* Apologies for cross posting *
Dear friends,
We are proud to announce that the new website of the Semantic Publishing And
Referencing (SPAR) Ontologies is now available at
http://www.sparontologies.net
SPAR Ontologies form a suite of orthogonal and complementary OWL 2 DL ontology
modules for the creation of comprehensive machine-readable RDF metadata for
every aspect of semantic publishing and referencing: document description,
bibliographic resource identifiers, types of citations and related contexts,
bibliographic references, document parts and status, agents' roles and
contributions, bibliometric data and workflow processes.
The new website now includes the description of all the eight original SPAR
Ontologies released in 2010 (i.e., FaBiO, CiTO, BiRO, C4O, DoCO, PSO, PRO, and
PWO) plus the description of other complementary ontologies that have been
developed recently and that extend the coverage of the possible description of
the publishing domain (i.e., SCoRO, FRAPO, DataCite, BiDO, and Five*). All the
ontologies are accompanied by examples of use, which include RDF sources that
are fully citable via figshare, and the list of published papers that describe
them, so as to enable the proper citation of such ontologies in scholarly
articles.
In addition, the website contains a brief description of the projects (e.g.,
BioTea, Nature Ontologies, OpenCitation, Utopia Documents) and publications
that use and/or reference to SPAR Ontologies, and also acknowledges all the
people who, in the past five years, have helped us make SPAR Ontologies
possible. We kindly invite you to write us an email for pointing out additional
projects and publications that are not listed yet: we will be honoured to add
them in the website.
Finally, please don't hesitate to follow and contact us for asking questions
about our ontologies, for discussing their possible applications, and even for
starting new collaborations. In particular, SPAR Ontologies have available:
- a Twitter account (https://twitter.com/sparontologies) where we publish all
the news related to the SPAR Ontologies and their related works;
- an open Google group
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/spar-ontologies) for discussing issues
and possible applications of the SPAR Ontologies with us and the whole
community;
- a ticket collector
(https://sourceforge.net/p/sempublishing/tickets/?source=navbar) for
highlighting issues of any of the SPAR Ontologies;
- an email ([email protected]) for personal and private communications
with us.
Thanks again for all your support!
Have a nice day :-)
S.
