Fully agree.

In SML the proposed “maps-to-term” relation is reusing rdfs:seeAlso.

Subject: Re: [topbraid-users] linking glossaries to ontologies ( or taxonomies)

Hi Luis,

One note of caution …

A Glossary Term is seldom “the same thing” as an ontology class/property or a 
database table/column. Instead, what we typically do is say that a 
class/property or table/column “maps to” the term.

Glossary Terms are usually for a less technical audience, are 
technology-independent and are self contained in most cases.

However, a class definition, for example, often takes its place in the class 
hierarchy into account and so is a more technical thing (e.g. a <class> is a 
<superclass> with <additional contraints or characteristics> ).

Additionally, need to remember that all instances of any subclass are also 
members of all superclasses and so every definition all the way up the class 
hierarchy is also applicable. That sometimes puts a lot of burden on glossary 
terms being reused as class definitions.

So, RDF-wise it is certainly possible to do as Holger explained, but business 
need/requirements-wise it may not be the best practive. As I said, in our Data 
Asset+Glossary architecture solution Data Elements/Database Columns include a  
“maps to term’ to Glossary Term relation allowing separate, clean definitions 
for the different audiences.

Cheers,
David

Hi Luis,

any asset collection can use assets/resources from other asset collections. 
Just owl:import the Glossary (from Settings > Includes). Then, to link a class 
with a glossary term, navigate to the definition of rdfs:Class or owl:Class and 
add a property/relationship there, with Glossary Terms as values. To navigate 
to rdfs:Class and owl:Class, find the "Up" button in the upper right corner of 
the Class Hierarchy panel, to switch to rdfs:Resource as root class.

If you further want to copy values such as the definition into the classes, you 
could define a property that uses a sh:path expression such as

               ex:glossaryTerm/rdfs:comment

or declare a sh:values rule that does the same. See 
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/inferencing-shacl-using-shvalues-holger-knublauch-0metf/
 for some background on sh:values rules.

Hi guys,

I wonder if there is a way to link glossaries to ontologies.

I mean, let's say I have a group of geographical terms in a list, that I create 
as glossary, and then I would like to use this glossary definition to fill the 
skos:definition of the corresponding class (concept) in my ontology.
Could you share any documentation or example of how I could do that?.

Best regards


Luis Ramos.
