Introduction

The Information Service Ontology Specification provides basic concepts and properties for describing different information services, e.g. Wikipedia, MusicBrainz, Freebase or Discogs, on/ for the Semantic Web. This document contains a RDF description of the Information Service Ontology.

Classes

Information Servicec back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/ontology/is/core#InfoService

is defined by
http://purl.org/ontology/is/core#
Extended definition: "An Information Service is this part of an Information System that serves data/knowledge/information to customers and collects it from its contributors, to manage and store it by optionally using administrators." Please refer also this article[1] about the definition of the term 'Information Service'. This concept is for linking a piece of information of a specific concept instance (or at least website links or other data representations of this concept instance), e.g. a foaf:Agent, a mo:Track or a mo:MusicArtist to a related website of a specific information service (modelled as individual of is:InfoService), e.g. Wikipedia, MySpace, MusicBrainz, Discogs, Last.fm, Pandora, BBC, ... . With this concept it is possible to describe the underlying information services of that knowledge representation more in detail, so that the client, which consumes that 'linked data' could choose, which source it likes to use by evaluating the description of the information service of that website link or other data representation. Please use for further is:InfoService instances the namespace "http://purl.org/ontology/is/inst/". [1] https://infoserviceonto.wordpress.com/2010/06/23/what-is-an-information-service/

Information Service Contributor Typec back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/ontology/is/core#InfoServiceContributorType

is defined by
http://purl.org/ontology/is/core#
This concept is for describing the different contributor types of information services, e.g. expert, community or mixed. Please feel free to define further information service contributor types. Please use therefore the namespace "http://purl.org/ontology/is/ctypes/".

Information Service Qualityc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/ontology/is/core#InfoServiceQuality

is defined by
http://purl.org/ontology/is/core#
This concept is for describing specific quality levels or ratings, e.g. good or bad or more detailed ones, of information services. Please feel free to use this concept as hook for more complex and detailed information service quality description modellings in sub ontologies. Please use therefore the domain "http://purl.org/ontology/is/quality/". Futhermore, such information service ratings could be done by different information service rating agencies, so that the customer of such ratings could select its information service ratings agency of choice.

is defined by
http://purl.org/ontology/is/core#
This concept is for describing the type of an information service, e.g. 'social network service', 'recommender service' or 'encyclopedia'. Please feel free to define further information service types for categorization. Please use therefore the namespace "http://purl.org/ontology/is/types/".

Object Properties

has info serviceop back to ToC or Object Property ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/ontology/is/core#info_service

is defined by
http://purl.org/ontology/is/core#
Every subject related by this property is made available by an is:InfoService individual. This property could be used to associate a semantic graph based description or especially a website link, e.g. typed as foaf:Document, to the specific is:InfoService individual. This enables the consumer of this resource to retrieve more information (descriptions, ratings) about the underlying information service of this resource.
