Spatial Graph Adapter (SGA) Pattern

Link to OWL File: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HollyFerguson/Spatial-Graph-Adapter-Pattern/master/SGA\Protege\OWL.owlPDF of SGA Pattern Image: Image:USOcore3.pdfTo answer the modern, interdisciplinary questions asked within the Building domain, industry tools and data standards need to become f...

What it answers

  • Which properties are recorded for a given building component, and what value does each of them have?
  • Which other building components does a given component share a recorded relationship with, and what kind of relationship is it?
  • Which separate records stand for the same physical object, and do they give it the same property values?

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 6 classes, 6 properties, 42 axioms
Brings in nothing - it stands on its own
Reasoning HermiT finds Attribute and ContextualizedRelation unsatisfiable: as published, no individual can belong to those classes. Anything you assert into them makes your ontology inconsistent.

A reasoner objects to this pattern: has unsatisfiable classes

HermiT finds Attribute and ContextualizedRelation unsatisfiable: as published, no individual can belong to those classes. Anything you assert into them makes your ontology inconsistent.

This is how its authors published it. OntoBoard reports it rather than silently repairing somebody else's pattern. See Choosing a pattern for what to do about it.

Check it yourself: the published pattern  ·  an archived copy  ·  the ontology itself.

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 12 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.

No worked example yet

This pattern has no example.ttl. The graph above is the schema only.

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.
