Description

The PROJECT ontology is designed to enable publication of information describing projects, including research projects. It is not designed to support project management, though sub-activities are included. As far as possible PROJECT is intended to be domain-neutral, and it is expected that domains and applications will specialize or extend this ontology for more specific purposes.

The ontology gives terms to support the representation of:

One specialization is included - the Research Project - which has been the subject of several predecessor designs that have informed the design of this ontology, including:

The DBPedia ontology provides what is probably the most general purpose class for projects: dbo:Project is described as "a temporary endeavor undertaken to achieve defined objectives" and has key properties relating to timing, objectives, and classification (keywords).

PROJECT extends the W3C PROV-O ontology. Otherwise, it has no dependencies except for the normal RDF/OWL infrastructure (RDF, RDFS, OWL2), Dublin Core for some ontology metadata, and SKOS to support some relationships between Role values, and project classification.

A summary of the main classes and relationships in PROJECT is shown in the diagram below, including the key superclass prov:Activity.

Projectc

IRI https://linked.data.gov.au/def/project#Project
Description

A Project is a planned activity with a budget, a sponsor, and a leader.

Project stakeholders are indicated using prov:wasAssociatedWith or the prov:qualifiedAssociation structure which allows their role to be catpured. Some special stakeholders have specific sub-properties with the roles fixed, including project-leader, project-participant, and project-funder.

Activities within a project are indicated using the proj:hasSubActivity (simple) or proj:subActivityAssociation properties - the latter allowing the nature of the relationshp to be described as well.
