Higgins.owl 1.0
The current Higgins ontology temporarily attached here (v0.5.1) defines a base set of classes and properties. The previous version (v0.4.4) is still located at the official URL here: http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/ontologies/2006/higgins.owl but it will be replaced after a review of 0.5.1 has concluded.
Note: The properties of the Context container itself are attached to special object called ContextObject within the instance data and also described in the ontology.
Changes from 0.4.4 to 0.5.0:
- ContextXRI property has been renamed ContextURI (the URI may be an XRI)
- All "metadata" properties have been moved from AttributeStatements to a newly created class AttributeMetadata. This new class acts separates out metadata about Attributes (e.g. source) from the normal "values" of Attributes.
- Two new kinds of metadata have been added: lastModified and syncConflict
- XML/RDF in general has been cleaned up (more use of &xsd; &owl; etc.)
- Ontology header has been cleaned up. It uses the owl:Ontology syntax. It has a version number (0.5.0). It also now also has a comment and a label.

Subclasses of AttributeValue
- StringAttributeValue
DataType (literal valued) Properties
- contextURI - domain(ContextRelationship, SubjectRelationship), range("anyURI")
- datatypeValue - domain(AttributeValue)
- identifier - domain(AttributeStatement), range(xsd:normalizedString)
- lastModified - domain(AttributeMetadata), range(xsd:dateTime)
- subjectCUID - domain(SubjectRelationship), range(xsd:normalizedString)
- syncConflict - domain(AttributeMetadata), range(xsd:boolean)
- uniqueIdentifier - domain(DigitalSubject), range(xsd:normalizedString). Uniquely identifies a DigitalSubject within a context
- validFrom - domain(TimeSpan), range(xsd:date)
- validTo - domain(TimeSpan), range(xsd:date)
Sub-Properties of datatypeValue
- stringDatatypeValue - range(xsd:string)
Object (object valued) Properties
- hasContextRelationship - domain(ContextObject), range(ContextRelationship)
- hasMetadata - domain(AttributeStatement), range(AttributeMetadata)
- hasSource - domain(AttributeMetadata), range(SubjectRelationship). The value is a DigitalSubjectRelationship that indicates the authoritative source of the AttributeStatement having this property
- hasTimeSpan - domain(DigitalSubject, AttributeMetadata), range(TimeSpan)
- objectValue - domain(AttributeValue)
Open Issues
- We've agreed to add a "source" property to the Digital Subject's CUID. But does this really make sense at the DS instance level?
