Add a new ontology to Archivo
Archivo retrieves ontologies exclusively from the web using their ontology URL.
The main rationale here is that we implemented the most common and standardized ways to access Ontologies
programmatically following Jon Postel: "Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others".
This means, we already allow some irregularities and heterogeneity, when parsing the ontologies from the web. Then
again, we only do so up to a certain point, i.e. there is only so much, that you can patch in good faith.
If DBpediaArchivo can not process it in an automatic and deterministic manner,it is likely infeasible to
be processed by others.
Ontology Indexing
If Archivo accepts the added ontology, it will be crawled every 8 hours and added to the persistent Ontology
Archive.
Archivo Requirements
- The URL must be accessible and the RDF content of the ontology must be reachable via content negotiation
from there in any of these formats: RDF+XML, N-Triples, Turtle
- The URI defined in the a owl:Ontology (or skos:ConceptScheme) triple must be the same as the one provided
here. If thats not the case Archivo tries to parse the new URI
A ontology can be suggested with a POST request, Archivo will download and parse it and if this succeeds include it in
its
index for daily crawling.
Example:
curl -X POST https://archivo.dbpedia.org/add --data-urlencode "suggestUrl=http://purl.org/example/ontology.owl"
Alternatively paste the URL of an OWL ontology here:
