The Medieval Manuscripts Ontology: MeMO

The Medieval Manuscripts Ontology (MeMO, https://w3id.org/irnerio/ontology/memo) is an OWL 2 DL ontology that aims to provide a framework for the formal description of the collection of medieval codices and manuscripts, managed by Progetto IRNERIO, according to certain requirements and with the possibility to extend it for representing similar resources that exist in other collections.

MeMO has been developed by using the Simplified Agile Methodology for Ontology Development (Peroni, S. (2016). SAMOD: an agile methodology for the development of ontologies. figshare. http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.3189769).

This repository contains the full documentation produced during the development of MeMO. In particular:

• the data directory contains a set of refactored ABoxes, one for each iteration, written in the Turtle RDF serialization;

• the development directory contains a folder for each iteration, thus constituting a full test case with a Motivating Scenario, a list of Informal Competency Questions, a Glossary of Terms, a Graffoo diagram of the model in .png format (along with its .graphml file), a list of Formal Competency Questions, a TBox and a ABox (both written in the Turtle RDF serialization);

• the diagrams directory contains a set of Graffoo diagrams representing the refactored model of each iteration;

• the docs directory contains all the files related to the ontology and its versions in time;

• the sparql directory contains a set of refactored Formal Competency Questions.
