Abstract

The Research Object vocabularies are built on existing popular vocabularies and standards, such as ORE, DC terms, PROV, to cite a few. In addition to terms that we borrowed and adapted from such vocabularies, we defined new terms under the name space roterms. These new terms serve two main purposes. They are used to specify annotations that are, to our knowledge, not catered for by existing ontologies, e.g., roterms:Hypothesis and roterms:exampleValue. ii) They are also used to specify shortcuts that make the ontology easy to use and more accessible.

Workflow valuec back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roterms#WorkflowValue

A (potential) workflow value. The value is a piece of data that was used or generated by a wfdesc:WorkflowRun (as a wfprov:Artifact). It can also be used to specify a value that is suggested for a wfdesc:Parameter given by roterms:exampleValue or roterms:defaultValue. A value can be provided in different forms, indicated as a subclass of roterms:WorkflowValue: wfprov:Artifact refers directly to the resource by URI cnt:ContentAsText - inlining the textual value with cnt:chars. cnt:ContentAsBase64 - inlining the bytes in base64-encoding using cnt:bytes. co:Collection / co:List listing nested roterms:WorkflowValue instances.

default valueop back to ToC or Object Property ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roterms#defaultValue

The default value for a wfdesc:Input or wfdesc:Configuration. The default value is not a suggested value (see roterms:exampleValue), it is the value that is inherently assumed if no value is provided by the workflow run. The value is given as an roterms:WorkflowValue instance, which allows specification of the value typically as text (cnt:chars), Base64 encoded bytes (cnt:bytes) or a collection of these (co:element).

of semantic typeop back to ToC or Object Property ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roterms#ofSemanticType

The wfdesc:Artifact describes a potential wfdesc:WorkflowValue which is of the given semantic type. The range of this property is given as skos:Concept, because it is envisioned that URIs from any existing (general and domain-specific) vocabularies could be used. It MAY be used with URIs identifying owl:Class-es; indicating that when a workflow is run, its wfprov:Artifact's would be instances of that type. Unlike the structural type (see roterms:ofStructuralType), the semantic type defines the domain-specific meaning or role of the expected value, for instance Genome Sequence or X-ray image.

of structural typeop back to ToC or Object Property ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roterms#ofStructuralType

The wfdesc:Artifact describes a potential wfdesc:WorkflowValue which is of the given structural type. The format (media type) of the value SHOULD be specified using dct:format. This property MAY be used when the format is not specific enough, for instance dct:format [ rdv:value "application/xml" ] specifies the serialization as XML, while roterms:ofStructuralType might point to the XML schema. The range of this property is undefined, it is expected that format-specific classes would define how to define the structural requirements.

performs taskop back to ToC or Object Property ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roterms#performsTask

The resource is intended to functionally perform the given task. This property does not specify a domain, but SHOULD generally have a subject like software, workflows and services. It MAY however also be used with agents, such as an foaf:Organization or crowd sourcing. This property does not specify the task (beyond being a skos:Concept), as it is intended to reuse existing vocabularies. A task might be for general purposes like copying a file and calculating a numeric average, or domain-specific tasks like aligning genome sequences and identifying galaxies.

requires datasetop back to ToC or Object Property ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roterms#requiresDataset

The resource requires the given dataset to function. Although the range is dcat:Dataset, this property does not specify how to detail the dataset, it might be a general requirement (any reference genome) or a particular dataset (an XML file located at a specific URI).

requires hardwareop back to ToC or Object Property ToC

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roterms#requiresHardware

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roterms#requiresSoftware

IRI: http://purl.org/wf4ever/roterms#technicalContact

The technical support contact for the resource, given as a foaf:Agent. This property does not specify a domain, but could be used on resources like software, workflows, services, vocabularies, datasets, etc. The agent SHOULD have a foaf:name. It SHOULD have one of foaf:mbox, foaf:phone or foaf:homepage. The agent may be a foaf:Person (e.g. technical contact), foaf:Group (e.g. mailing lists) or other kind of agent (like automated support).
