Announcement: PAV (Provenance, Authoring and Versioning) ontology 2.3.0

[Stian Soiland-Reyes]

I am proud to announce the release of PAV (Provenance, Authoring and
Versioning) ontology version 2.3.0.

PAV is a lightweight ontology for tracking Provenance, Authoring and
Versioning. PAV specializes the W3C provenance ontology PROV-O in
order to describe authorship, curation and digital creation of online
resources.


Version 2.3 adds further relations for versioning:
pav:hasVersion, pav:hasCurrentVersion, pav:hasEarlierVersion

and adds subproperty mappings with:
prov:alternateOf, prov:specializationOf, prov:generalizationOf, dct:hasVersion


Namespace / current version:
http://purl.org/pav/

OWL import 2.3:
http://purl.org/pav/2.3

Further documentation:

I think this must be a glitch - the equivalence to pav1 properties
should still be in there (but without importing pav1 which would be
very confusing). I'll put them
back in and silently release it as 2.5.1.


Thanks for letting me know!


Yes, PAV1 is a preliminary (incompatible) version, in a different
namespace. It which was part of the SWAN ontologies. PAV 2 is the
evolution of that, with a new namespace and clarified descriptions. By
semantic versioning rules it is therefore 2.x.x.

http://pav-ontology.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/provenance.ttl (which
probably still needs a bit of polishing) expresses this as:

<http://purl.org/pav> a prov:Entity, owl:Ontology ;
pav:version "2" ;
pav:previousVersion <http://purl.org/pav/1.2/> ;
pav:hasCurrentVersion <http://purl.org/pav/2.3> ;
pav:hasVersion
<http://purl.org/pav/2.3> ,
<http://purl.org/pav/2.2> ,
<http://purl.org/pav/2.1> ,
<http://purl.org/pav/2.0/> .

<http://purl.org/pav/2.0/> a prov:Entity, owl:Ontology ;
pav:version "2.0" ;
pav:specializationOf <http://purl.org/pav/> ;
pav:previousVersion <http://purl.org/pav/1.2/> .

Restored in http://purl.org/pav/2.3.1 which is now live.

It seems to be a bug in Protege 5 that I will have to report.
