<owl:versionInfo
>OWL version of http://cidoc.ics.forth.gr/cidoc_v4.2.rdfs, ported by Aldo Gangemi.

This version, prepared by Efthimios Mavrikas, contains alignments of CIDOC classes to DOLCE-UltraLite (http://www.loa-cnr.it/ontologies/DUL.owl) and GOLD-2010 (http://linguistics-ontology.org/gold-2010.owl). Import these ontologies if you need to reason with them, or remove the import assertion if you only want to use CIDOC with links to DOLCE.

Top classes of CIDOC and DOLCE-Ultralite have been aligned to corresponding classes in GOLD-2010. The top classes have been aligned as follows:

E1.CRM_Entity --- DUL:Entity
E2.Temporal_Entity --- DUL:Event
E52.Time-Span --- DUL:TimeInterval
E53.Place --- DUL:Place
E54.Dimension --- DUL:Amount
E77.Persistent_Item --- DUL:Object --- GOLD:Object

DUL:Thing --- GOLD:Thing
DUL:Process --- GOLD:Process
DUL:Abstract --- GOLD:Abstract

Some more alignments have been performed at a deeper level, because they can be relevant to applications of CIDOC+DOLCE+GOLD in computational linguistics:

E28.Conceptual_Object --- DUL:SocialObject
E33.Linguistic_Object --- GOLD:LinguisticExpression
E56.Language --- GOLD:LinguisticSystem
E62.String --- GOLD:WrittenLinguisticExpression
E73.Information_Object --- DUL:InformationObject --- GOLD:LinguisticDataStructure

The advantage of the alignment comes with added value: e.g. DOLCE classes have disjointness axioms, which are now reflected into CIDOC (Temporal_Entity and Persistent_Item are now disjoint because Event and Object are disjoint in DOLCE).

As future work, it would be useful to align CIDOC properties to DOLCE and GOLD properties, and to suggest owl:Restrictions to be added to CIDOC classes.</owl:versionInfo>
