Introduction

The participation ontology is a simple model for describing the roles that people play within groups. It is intended that specific domains will create subclasses of roles within their own areas of expertise. The first of these is AIISO Roles (http://purl.org/vocab/aiiso-roles/schema)

Changes From Previous Version

2008-09-25 - semantic change by Rob Styles: "First cut of the ontology published, initial concepts extracted from original conference ontology at http://data.semanticweb.org/ns/swc/ontology"

Namespace

The URI for this vocabulary is

http://purl.org/vocab/participation/schema#

When used in XML documents the suggested prefix is participation

Each class or property in the vocabulary has a URI constructed by appending a term name to the vocabulary URI. For example:

#role
#Role

The term name for a class always starts with an uppercase character. Where the term name is comprised of multiple concatenated words, the leading character of each word will be an uppercase character. For example:

Role

The term name for a property always starts with an lowercase character. Where the term name is comprised of multiple concatenated words, the leading character of the second and each subsequent word will be an uppercase character. For example:

role
role_at
