Policy Pattern

Source: ODP portal  ·  Published by: mklab.iti.gr  ·  Category: behavioral  ·  Domain: biology

The pattern intends to model policies, their characteristics and their associated entities, such as processes and agents.

What it answers

    1. What are the main entities associated with a policy? A policy is usually associated with super/sub-policies, processes, agents and other entities. 2. What are the main attributes of a policy? They are version, language, policy type, requirement level, implementation status and automation status. 3. Where is a policy described? Statements are detailed text (formal or non- formal) definitions of the policy contents.

The pattern

The graph is the axioms the pattern asserts; nothing here is inferred. Drag to rearrange, scroll to zoom, and use the graph's own search box to find a term inside it.

Opens at level of detail 3: classes, individuals, properties and restrictions, without the literals. Raise it with the LOD control in the graph's own toolbar to see annotation values and anything a reasoner adds.

Should you use this one?
Size 10 classes, 13 properties, 108 axioms
Brings in 2 imported ontologies, so adopting it adopts those too
Reasoning HermiT finds this pattern consistent, with no unsatisfiable class, and its worked example consistent with the pattern.

A situation it was written for. Some examples of instantiation of the Policy ODP are: 1. The policy has two subpolicies 2. The policy is implemented by a certain process 3. The policy is validated by a certain process 4. The policy is assigned to John Smith 5. The policy is fully automated

If a link does not open

ontologydesignpatterns.org, which publishes most of this library, does not currently answer over HTTPS, and its wiki redirects submission pages to its front page. The archived copy is there for exactly that reason. The ontology files themselves are still served over plain HTTP.

Terms it declares

The 103 classes and properties this pattern models, as the recommender scores them. Annotation properties and built-ins are excluded, because an annotation property is not modelling.

An example of it in use

The pattern says what may be asserted; this says it. The graph below is a small set of individuals that instantiate the classes above and are connected by its properties, so the shape the pattern describes is visible as data rather than as a schema.

Import this pattern into your own ontology from inside Protégé: OntoBoard → Reuse → Pattern library…, which hands it to Import terms… and writes the term list, the module, the import and the catalog entry the way ODK expects. See Working with ODK.
