Changes from previous version:
- updated foundational ontologies
Under development. Please see report on iCity Ontology v1.
Annotation property introduced for organization purposes, to identify annotation properties defined in the Units of Measure Ontology.
Added for organizational purposes to group properties defined in the Change Ontology.
Objects (e.g. perdurants and their manifestations) exist at some time interval or time point.
has denominator
has numerator
has unit
has value
Added for organizational purposes, to identify properties defined in the Person ontology.
Added for organizational purposes, to capture the properties reused from Schema.org. Notice that since we cannot import schema.org we must manually reference the individual IRIs.
Physical address of the item.
Date of birth.
A child of the person.
Date of death.
Gender of the person.
A parent of this person. Supersedes parents.
The person's spouse.
Indicates that an object is a manifestationOf the sameTimeVaryingConcept as another object.
Data property introduced for organization purposes, to identify data properties defined in the Units of Measure Ontology.
has numerical value
Just as the meter is the unit of measure for length, a gci:Cardinality_unit is the unit of measure for the size of a set. The gci:Cardinality_unit is a ratio scale: gci:Cardinality_scale, which is a subclass of om:Ratio_scale and is has a zero element (namely zero).
Reused from GCI Foundation Ontology

The govstat Population is specialized for indicator use to include what defines a member of the population, the location of the population, and the time the population was measured.
Reused from GCI Foundation ontology
Population Measure
gci:Cardinality_unit is the unit of measure for the size of a set. The gci:Cardinality_unit is a ratio scale: gci:Cardinality_scale, which is a subclass of om:Ratio_scale and is has a zero element (namely zero).

Reused from GCI Foundation ontology: http://ontology.eil.utoronto.ca/GCI/Foundation/GCI-Foundation-v2.owl
gci:Population_size is a subclass of om:Quantity. Its om:unit_of_measure is the gci:population_cardinality_unit. It is also a subclass of gs:Cardinality which provides the cardinality_of property that links to a gs:Population.
Population Size
Added for organizational purposes to group the classes defined in the Change Ontology.

A Manifestation of some TimeVaryingConcept at a particular point/interval in time.
A Manifestation exists at some Instant.
The class of Manifestations is equivalent to the class of things that are manifestations of some TimeVaryingConcept - and only time varying concents - in the manifestationOf relation.
A class that is subject to change is defined as a type of TimeVaryingConcept (e.g. Vehicle may be a subclass of TimeVaryingConcept). The TimeVaryingConcept itself is invariant and defined by properties that do not change over time. As per (Krieger, 2008), we view TimeVaryingConcepts as perdurants (things that occur over time, i.e. processes).
A TimeVaryingConcept has Manifestations that demonstrate their changing (variant) properties over time.
Different types (subclasses) of TimeVaryingConcept may be defined based on the Manifestations that are part of them. For example, VehiclePD s have manifestations that are Vehicles.
A TimeVaryingConcept exists at some Interval.
The class of TimeVaryingConcepts is equivalent to the class of things that have some Manifestations - and only Manifestations - in the hasManifestation relation.

Area expresses the two-dimensional size of a defined part of a surface, typically a region bounded by a closed curve. It is a derived quantity in the International System of Units. Area is length squared.

Reference systems to indicate geographic position.
Length is the amount of space between two geographical points along a curve. It is a base quantity in the International System of Units and other systems of units. Length is speed times time. The metre, a base unit of length in the International System of Units, is defined in terms of speed of light during a certain time interval.

Mass is the amount of matter of a phenomenon. It is a base quantity in the International System of Units. Mass is force divided by acceleration.

A Monetary Value has a numerical value that is relative to a particular date (year).
A Monetary Value is measured with some currency.

Speed is the time rate of motion measured by the distance moved over in unit time.
speed
speed unit
In order to achieve a coherent, interdependent set of units of measure in the wide variety of units that exist, units are organised in systems of units. A system of units is based on a set of units chosen by convention to be the system’s base units, units that are considered to be mutually independent (i.e., can’t be expressed in terms of each other).

An amount of money that is defined relative to a particular year.
Volume is a measure of how much three-dimensional space any phenomenon occupies. It is a derived quantity in the International System of Units. Volume is length to the power 3.

A Person may have a unique identifier.
A Person has a date of birth, and may have a date of death.
A Person may be a member of a Family and/or a Household.
A Person has a mother and father, and may have a spouse and/or child(ren). Note that we define the parent relation as the legal relation as opposed to biological. This property may be specialized and restricted, for example hasBiologicalMother: exactly 1 Person.
A Person may have some Job and associated Income.
A Person may have access to some Vehicle.
A Person may have access to some Bicycle.
A Person may have some TransitPass.
A Person has an address of residence and may have other contact information such as E-mail, phone number, etcetera.
A Person has a Schedule for a given point (period) in time.
Note that some properties are not defined in the Person ontology, but in an extension of the Person ontology that captures the interaction between iCity domain ontologies (e.g. Persons and their Vehicles)
Added for organizational purposes, to identify classes defined in the Person ontology.

A Person changes over time, the entire entity of a Person is captured by the PersonPD ("person perdurant") class.
A Qualification captures some official degree of accomplishment. It may be required for something and/or possessed by some Person.
To be defined in greater detail in future versions. Likely to be defined in a separate ontology.
Added for organizational purposes, to capture the classes reused from Schema.org. Notice that since we cannot import schema.org we must manually reference the individual IRIs.
A Skill captures an ability to perfom some activity or set of activities.
To be defined in greater detail in future versions. Likely to be defined in a separate ontology.
