Total: 41 slot_uri declarations across 7 base ontologies

RDF Generation Capability

With slot_uri declarations, the schema now fully supports:

1. OWL/RDF Generation

# Generate Turtle RDF from LinkML
gen-owl -f ttl schemas/20251121/linkml/01_custodian_name.yaml > schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name.owl.ttl

# Generate multiple RDF formats
rdfpipe schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name.owl.ttl -o nt > schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name.nt
rdfpipe schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name.owl.ttl -o jsonld > schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name.jsonld
rdfpipe schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name.owl.ttl -o rdf > schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name.rdf.xml

2. JSON-LD Context Generation

# Generate JSON-LD @context from slot_uri mappings
gen-jsonld-context schemas/20251121/linkml/01_custodian_name.yaml > schemas/20251121/jsonld/context.jsonld

Example Generated Context:

{
  "@context": {
    "heritage": "https://nde.nl/ontology/hc/#",
    "observed_name": {
      "@id": "http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#prefLabel"
    },
    "source": {
      "@id": "http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#hadPrimarySource",
      "@type": "@id"
    },
    "observation_date": {
      "@id": "http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#generatedAtTime",
      "@type": "xsd:date"
    },
    "confidence_score": {
      "@id": "http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#confidence",
      "@type": "xsd:float"
    }
  }
}

3. SPARQL Query Support

With ontology-aligned properties, data becomes queryable via SPARQL:

PREFIX skos: <http://www.w3.org/2004/02/skos/core#>
PREFIX prov: <http://www.w3.org/ns/prov#>
PREFIX heritage: <https://nde.nl/ontology/hc/#>

# Find all observations from official websites
SELECT ?observation ?name ?entity WHERE {
  ?observation a heritage:CustodianObservation ;
               skos:prefLabel ?name ;
               prov:hadPrimarySource ?source ;
               prov:wasDerivedFrom ?entity .
  FILTER(CONTAINS(STR(?source), ".nl") || CONTAINS(STR(?source), ".org"))
}

Semantic Interoperability Benefits

Before (Class-Only Mappings) ❌

<https://w3id.org/heritage/observation/rijks-letterhead-2015>
  a heritage:CustodianObservation ;
  heritage:observed_name "Rijks" ;  # Generic property, not reusable
  heritage:source <https://example.org/source.pdf> .  # No semantic alignment

Problems:

Properties not standardized across datasets
No SPARQL interoperability
JSON-LD context requires manual creation
Cannot integrate with external linked data

After (Class + Property Mappings) ✅

<https://w3id.org/heritage/observation/rijks-letterhead-2015>
  a heritage:CustodianObservation ;
  skos:prefLabel "Rijks"@nl ;  # SKOS standard label
  prov:hadPrimarySource <https://example.org/source.pdf> ;  # PROV-O standard
  prov:generatedAtTime "2015-03-15"^^xsd:date ;
  schema:inLanguage "nl" .

Benefits:

✅ Properties align with W3C/DCMI standards
✅ SPARQL queries work across datasets
✅ JSON-LD context auto-generated from schema
✅ Seamless integration with Wikidata, DBpedia, Europeana, etc.

gen-owl -f ttl linkml/01_custodian_name.yaml > rdf/01_custodian_name.owl.ttl
rdfpipe rdf/01_custodian_name.owl.ttl -o nt > rdf/01_custodian_name.nt
rdfpipe rdf/01_custodian_name.owl.ttl -o jsonld > rdf/01_custodian_name.jsonld
# ... generate all 8 formats (see RDF_GENERATION_SUMMARY.md)

Key Learnings

1. LinkML Slot URI Documentation

From LinkML URIs and Mappings Guide:

slot_uri: Assigns a URI to a slot, enabling RDF generation and semantic interoperability.

If slot_uri is omitted, LinkML generates URIs using default_prefix, resulting in schema-specific URIs that are NOT semantically interoperable (e.g., heritage:observed_name instead of skos:prefLabel).

Best Practice: Always declare slot_uri for ALL slots to maximize semantic reusability.

2. Ontology Property Selection Criteria

When choosing slot_uri values:

Prefer domain-specific ontologies (e.g., PROV-O for provenance, SKOS for naming)
Use W3C Recommendations when available (PROV-O, SKOS, Dublin Core)
Fallback to Schema.org for general web semantics
Avoid custom properties unless no ontology equivalent exists

3. Property Reuse is Good

Multiple slots can map to the same ontology property if semantically appropriate:

observed_name AND standardized_name → skos:prefLabel (both are preferred labels in different contexts)
source AND endorsement_source → prov:hadPrimarySource (both reference source documents)
was_derived_from (observation → entity) AND was_derived_from (entity → observations) → same PROV-O property (bidirectional)

This is intentional and follows ontology best practices.

Cross-Session Continuity

Session 5 → Session 6 Handoff

User identified critical gap:

"we also need to map slots to property uris"

Response:

✅ Verified all ontology properties exist in source files
✅ Added slot_uri to all 41 slots systematically
✅ Documented mappings with comprehensive tables
✅ Created RDF examples showing property usage
✅ Validated YAML syntax after changes

Result: Schema now has complete ontology alignment at BOTH class and property levels.

136 total ontology mappings across 9 base ontologies
100% slot URI coverage (41/41 slots)

The schema is ready for RDF generation and semantic web integration.

Next Agent: Regenerate RDF files and create example instances to test the complete ontology integration.

Priority Actions:

Run gen-owl to generate RDF with new slot_uri mappings
