Ontologies in VITRO

In order to be properly imported into VITRO, filegraphs (i.e. ontologies designed to extend VITROs knowledge graph) need to use specific axioms. Some of these are defined in the VITRO ontology.

Ontology specifications

The information specified in these axioms will be displayed by VITRO in the list of loaded ontologies that can be accessed through Site Admin > Ontology list.

rdfs:label This standard rdf declaration will be listed under 'Ontology'. VIVO uses en-us as standard locale.
Example:
<rdfs:label xml:lang="en-us">RDF Bones</rdfs:label>

rdf:about
This standard rdf declaration will be listed under 'Namespace'.
Example:
<Ontology rdf:about="http://w3id.org/rdfbones/core">
</Ontology>

vitro:ontologyPrefixAnnot
The list will only display a prefix using this VITRO axiom. Other axioms (e.g. oboInOwl:default-namespace) will not be respected.
Example:
<vitro:ontologyPrefixAnnot rdf:datatype="&rdfs;Literal">rdfbones</vitro:ontologyPrefixAnnot>
