 AOS AGROVOC Concept Server foundation ontology model
 | 
|  Submitted by:
 | 
 MargheritaSini
 | 
|  Also Known As:
 | 
 AGROVOC Concept Server OWL Model, ASC, AOS
 | 
|  Intent:
 | 
 Act as a basic model for Agricultural Related Ontologies, in particular for the AGROVOC Concept Server. The model clearly identify concepts (domain concepts) from terms (which are represented as instances). Both concepts and terms have specific relationships connecting them.
 | 
|  Domains:
 | 
 Agriculture
 
 | 
|  Competency Questions:
 | 
 | 
|  Solution description:
 | 
 -
 | 
|  Reusable OWL Building Block:
 | 
 1 (740)
 | 
|  Consequences:
 | 
 This model can be compared to the LIR model. A mapping between the two model exists. Therefore, using the AOS will make your ontology compatible with the LIR and therefore the NeOn Toolkit.

 isSubCategoryOf (owl:TransitiveProperty) Relationship that is used in order to model the hierarchy of a classification scheme. A category can be in different positions in the hierarchy depending on the classification scheme you are looking at. Therefore, this relationship should not be instantiated directly to create the hierarchy, but rather a sub property specifically created for a particular classification scheme. 
  
 isSubCategoryOf page  
 hasSubCategory (owl:TransitiveProperty) Inverse relationship of the <is sub category of> relationship. This relationship is used to build a hierarchy of categories within a classification scheme. A <has sub category> B means that B is a sub-category of A, i.e. B is a more specific category than A, lower in the hierarchy. Since one category can be in different places in the hierarchy in different classification schemes, do not instantiate this relationship directly, but use the sub-properties specifically for the classification scheme for which the sub-category relationship holds. For example use the <has ASC sub category> relationship to state that A <has ASC sub category> B in the Agris Subject Categories (ASC) classification scheme. 
  
 hasSubCategory page  
 isFaoPaSubCategoryOf (owl:TransitiveProperty) This relationship describes the hierarchy of categories in the FAO Priority Areas (FAO PA) classification scheme. Its inverse relationship is 'has FAO PA sub category'. Use this relationship to declare that one category is the sub category of another category in the FAO PA classification scheme. 
  
 isFaoPaSubCategoryOf page  
 
 
 isAscSubCategoryOf (owl:TransitiveProperty) This relationship describes the hierarchy of categories in the Agris Subject Categories (ASC) classification scheme. Its inverse relationship is 'has ASC sub category'. Use this relationship to declare that one category is the sub category of another category in the ASC classification scheme.
