| 29 | +Usage in this repository |
| 30 | +------------------------ |
| 31 | +The file data/ontologies/dul.ttl is the canonical DOLCE+DUL ontology |
| 32 | +(version 4.2, Turtle serialization, ~187 KB) verbatim from the upstream |
| 33 | +URI above. It is hydrated by the lance-graph-ontology crate as the L1 |
| 34 | +upper-ontology slot OGIT::DOLCE_V1. Every downstream L2-L4 business |
| 35 | +ontology (OWL-Time, PROV-O, QUDT, FIBO-FND, schema.org, ...) declares |
| 36 | +inherits_from: Some(OGIT::DOLCE_V1.0) and resolves against this |
| 37 | +hydration via rdfs:subClassOf chains. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +Note on naming: canonical DOLCE+DUL deliberately departs from the |
| 40 | +original DOLCE-Lite-Plus naming convention. Per the ontology header, |
| 41 | +"the names of classes and relations have been made more intuitive." |
| 42 | +The two most load-bearing renames for the cognitive-shader L1 slot |
| 43 | +are: Endurant → Object, Perdurant → Event. The four upper categories |
| 44 | +in DUL are: Object, Event, Quality, Abstract (all direct sub-classes |
| 45 | +of Entity). |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +DUL extension modules |
| 48 | +--------------------- |
| 49 | +data/ontologies/dul-extensions/ holds sibling design-pattern modules |
| 50 | +shipped from the same upstream Ontology Design Patterns catalogue under |
| 51 | +the same CC-BY 4.0 license. Both are RDF/XML rather than Turtle, so |
| 52 | +the OwlHydrator's `detect_format` content-sniffer routes them through |
| 53 | +oxrdfxml automatically. |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +- conceptualization.owl (~8 KB): patterns for agent-conceptualization |
| 56 | + relations — `knows` / `believes` / `assumes` / `adopts` plus the |
| 57 | + `InternalRepresentation` class. Refines the dul:conceptualizes |
| 58 | + property surface used by cognitive-shader agency cascades. |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +- lmm-l2.owl (~32 KB): Lexical MetaModel Level 2. Adds named-entity |
| 61 | + recognition surface (`NamedEntity` / `Name` / `ConceptExpression` / |
| 62 | + `ConceptReference` / `ContextualExpression` / `IndividualReference` |
| 63 | + / `MultipleReference` / `Gloss`). Imports LMM_L1 and IOLite by URL; |
| 64 | + those imports are not followed by the hydrator (the IRIs are still |
| 65 | + interned as referenced names, but the imported triples are not). |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Both extensions hydrate into the same OGIT::DOLCE_V1 bundle as DUL.ttl |
| 68 | +via OwlHydrator::hydrate_many, so downstream consumers see one |
| 69 | +transitive L1 surface rather than three separate G slots. |
