Hi All,
I have been looking for an ontology that organizes and describes
possible characteristics or attributes for common entity types, such as
what might be found in a key-value pair in Wikipedia infoboxes and such.
I have had no luck finding such a vocabulary or ontology. The closest
representation I found was one related to sensors and the Internet of
Things (IoT) [1]. The Wolfram Language also has an interesting structure
around units [2]. Biperpedia has recently been discussed by Google [3],
but no actual ontology or structure yet appears available for inspection.
Does anyone know of a general ontology for capturing record/entity
attributes or characteristics (properties)? I know some domains like
biomedical may have partial approaches to this, but I'm seeking
something that has as its intent being a general-purpose attribute
reference.
Suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
