Power, War, Religion and Relations Ontology Version 1.0
Power, War, Religion and Relations Ontology Version 1.0
Description:
Extending the Art and Architectural Argumentation Ontology (AAAo), this project builds a set of classes and relations that enable the modelling of historical information pertaining to the exercise of power, the practice of religion, and the creation and maintenance of social relations through communicative acts.
Compatibility and Nomenclature
This unofficial extension of the CIDOC CRM is formulated in relation to:
- CRM 7.1.3
- LRMoo 1.0
- CRMsci 2.0
- CRMdig 4.0
- CRMtex 2.0
- AAAo 2.0
The specification consists of a set of declarations for formalized classes and properties that extend the CIDOC CRM and the above official extensions.
Adopting the conventions of the CIDOC CRM each class and property have been given an identifier in addition to their names. The naming convention adopted for this extension is:
WE = class
WP = property
The choice of these names was arbitrary, making a conceptual connection with the official CRM representation while clearly distinguishing the new classes and properties from those of either CRM base or its official extensions.

Maintenance and Archiving
PWRo is an actively maintained ontology. It is our aim to develop publicly and participatively, learning from and engaging with the scholarly community that adopts it. Towards this end we maintain the ontology with the following processes and relative tools.
Ontology Development
We adopt the OntoMe tool developed by LARHRA to manage the ontology and produce editions. This ensures a consistent management of the ontology and provides a public space to engage in revisions.
The maintenace space for the ontology can be found here: https://ontome.net/project/208
Please note, at time of publishing, OntoME is not capable of producing complete, provenanced RDF serializations, so please only use the official RDF for this standard stored on our github. See below.
Issue Management and Revision Storage
We adopt github as a platform for inviting and managing issues related to the ontology as well as providing an active place to be able to access the latest edition of the ontology, its specification and relevant documentation.
The address for the github repository is: https://github.com/swiss-art-research-net/pwro
