This ontology contains the definitions for the ABS Structures which are areas that the ABS designs specifically for outputting statistics. ABS structures: - Mesh Block, Statistical Areas (Level 1 to Level 4), Greater Capital City Statistical Areas, State or Territory, Country classes - Indigenous location, Indigenous area, Indigenous region - Urban Centre and Locality, Section of State Range, Section of State, Significant Urban Area Non ABS Structures which are not defined or maintained by the ABS but represent administrative areas for which the ABS is committed to providing a range of statistics. The classes defined here corresponds to ABS approximations of spatial areas or regions which are defined elsewhere - Local Government Areas (LGAs) - Postal Areas (POAs) - State Suburbs (SSCs) - Commonwealth Electoral Divisions (CEDs) - State Electoral Divisions (SEDs) - Australian Drainage Divisions (ADDs) - Natural Resource Management Regions (NRMRs) - Tourism Regions (TRs) The ASGS uses Mesh Blocks as a common building block for all structures. Mesh Blocks are small enough that they can accurately approximate the changing administrative areas maintained by other organisations, without changing themselves. The publication of the ASGS ontology is part of the Australian Bureau of Statistics contribution to a joint effort to publish authoritative, interconnected spatial products (Location Index project). The ASGS Ontology is packaged in multiple graphs: - http://linked.data.gov.au/def/asgs (this graph) contains the core classes for ASGS statistical units, and a small number of properties relating to their identity, classification, and containment hierarchy - http://linked.data.gov.au/def/asgs-cat contains the meshblock classification scheme - http://linked.data.gov.au/def/asgs-id contains specialised string types for identifiers and labels - http://linked.data.gov.au/def/asgs-path contains association classes and properties relating to paths between instances of the core classes - http://linked.data.gov.au/def/asgs-isof (deprecated) contains specialized predicates for containment relationships - this functionality is provided by generic 'within' and 'isComposedOf' relations instead - http://linked.data.gov.au/def/asgs-code (deprecated) contains specialised annotation properties for identifiers and labels - this functionality has been superseded by a set of data-types to be used in conjunction with more generic properties - http://linked.data.gov.au/def/asgs-prop (deprecated) contains specialised ASGS properties for relationships, classifiers, identifiers and labels - this functionality has been superseded by use of types from standardized RDF vocabularies""" ; dcterms:modified "2020-04-29" ; dcterms:publisher <../org/abs> ; dcterms:rights "Copyright 2018 Australian Bureau of Statistics." ; dcterms:source ; dcterms:title "ASGS Ontology - ABS Structures and non-ABS structures" ; a owl:Ontology ; owl:imports ; sdo:codeRepository . :AustralianDrainageDivision dcterms:description "Australian Drainage Divisions (ADD) are an ABS approximation of Bureau of Meteorology Drainage Divisions.

SA4s reflect labour markets within each State and Territory within the population limits imposed by the Labour Force Survey sample. Most SA4s have a population above 100 000 persons to provide sufficient sample size for Labour Force estimates. In regional areas SA4s tend to have lower populations (100 000 to 300 000). In metropolitan areas the SA4s tend to have larger populations (300 000 to 500 000). SA4s are aggregations of whole Statistical Areas Level 3 (SA3s) in the ASGS Main Structure. Whole SA4s aggregate to form Greater Capital City Statistical Areas (GCCSAs) and State and Territory (S/T).SA4s are contiguous and in aggregate cover the whole of Australia without gaps or overlaps. An additional code (Outside Australia) has also been added to represent areas not covered by Geographical Australia." ; a owl:Class ; rdfs:isDefinedBy <> ; rdfs:label "Statistical Area Level 4" ; rdfs:subClassOf :Feature, [ a owl:Restriction ; owl:minQualifiedCardinality "1"^^xsd:nonNegativeInteger ; owl:onClass :StatisticalAreaLevel3 ; owl:onProperty :isComposedOf ], [ a owl:Restriction ; owl:onClass :StateOrTerritory ; owl:onProperty :within ; owl:qualifiedCardinality "1"^^xsd:nonNegativeInteger ], [ a owl:Restriction ; owl:maxQualifiedCardinality "1"^^xsd:nonNegativeInteger ; owl:onClass :GreaterCapitalCityStatisticalArea ; owl:onProperty :within ] . :TourismRegion dcterms:description "Tourism Regions (TR) are an ABS approximation of Tourism Regions provided by Tourism Research Australia (TRA).

These areas of urban development are primarily identified using objective dwelling and population density criteria. This criteria is developed using data from the Census of Population and Housing. Urban Centres are defined separately to Localities. Urban Centres have urban populations of 1 000 people or more while Localities have populations of between 200 and 999 people.The UCLs are designed for the analysis of statistical data in particular data from the Census of Population and Housing. The 200 minimum population size is set to enable users to access cross classified Census data for these areas without the resulting counts becoming too small for use. UCLs are aggregates of Statistical Areas Level 1 (SA1s) they aggregate up to Section of State (SOS). UCLs include a category of Rural Balance which ensures that they cover the whole of Australia without gaps or overlaps.
