The Provenance Ontology (PROV-O) is a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommended ontology used to structure data about provenance across a wide variety of domains. Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) is a top-level ontology ISO/IEC standard used to structure a wide variety of ontologies, such as the OBO Foundry ontologies and the Common Core Ontologies (CCO). To enhance interoperability between these two ontologies, their extensions, and data organized by them, a mapping methodology and set of alignments are presented according to specific criteria which prioritize semantic and logical principles. The ontology alignments are evaluated by checking their logical consistency with canonical examples of PROV-O instances and querying terms that do not satisfy the alignment criteria as formalized in SPARQL. A variety of semantic web technologies are used in support of FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles.
溯源本体(PROV-O)是万维网联盟(W3C)推荐的本体,用于构建跨多种领域的溯源数据。基础形式本体(BFO)是一种ISO/IEC标准的顶级本体,用于构建多种本体,如OBO铸造本体和通用核心本体(CCO)。为了增强这两种本体、它们的扩展以及由它们组织的数据之间的互操作性,根据优先考虑语义和逻辑原则的特定标准,提出了一种映射方法和一组对齐方式。通过检查本体对齐与PROV-O实例的规范示例的逻辑一致性,并查询不符合SPARQL中形式化的对齐标准的术语,来评估本体对齐。使用了多种语义网技术来支持FAIR(可查找、可访问、可互操作、可重用)原则。
