Territorial Statistical Nomenclature Ontology

Abstract

We present in this document the TSN Ontology ( Territorial Statistical Nomenclature Ontology ) to describe any Territorial Statistical Nomenclature i.e., partitions of space into territorial units (e.g. administrative, electoral, statistical units) used as a suppport to the collect of socio-economic statistics.

Territorial Statistical Nomenclature Ontology (Ontology) VC Definition

This ontology allows describing any Territorial Statistical Nomenclature (TSN) i.e., partition of the territory (electoral, administrative, statistical, etc.) used as a support to the collection and restitution of statistical data (e.g., describing a territory in terms of population, unemployement rate, transport access, etc.).

Level (OWL Class) Definition

The Level concept describes a level of observation of the Territory defined within the Nomenclature. Several levels of observation may be defined (e.g., region or district levels)

Definition

The URI of this class is http://purl.org/net/tsn#Level


This class is a sub class of TSNComponent

LevelVersion (OWL Class) Definition In use

The LevelVersion concept describes a unique representation of a Level, stable for a period of time. This period of time is inherited from the reference period of the NomenclatureVersion the LevelVersion belongs to.

Definition

The URI of this class is http://purl.org/net/tsn#LevelVersion


This class is a sub class of TSNFeature Version

Nomenclature (OWL Class) Definition

The Nomenclature concept describes an abstract representation of the subdivisions of a territory into Levels and Territorial Units (i.e. also called 'Structure'). A Nomenclature can be seen as a hierarchy of sets of Units with at least one Level. It is designed to answer administrative, electoral and especially statistical needs.

Definition

The URI of this class is http://purl.org/net/tsn#Nomenclature


This class is a sub class of TSNComponent

NomenclatureVersion (OWL Class) Definition In use

The NomenclatureVersion concept describes a unique representation of a Nomenclature, stable for a period of time. Stability ensures that statistical data refer to the same territorial units for a certain period of time (source http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/nuts/history) (i.e., the reference period of the NomenclatureVersion).

Definition

The URI of this class is http://purl.org/net/tsn#NomenclatureVersion


This class is a sub class of Version

Territory (OWL Class) Definition

The Territory concept describes an abstract representation of a portion of geographic space that is claimed or occupied by a person or group of persons or by an institution (source http://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/view/document/obo-9780199874002/obo-9780199874002-0076.xml). For instance, the European Union is a territory, the Grenoble metropole is a territory, etc.

Definition

The URI of this class is http://purl.org/net/tsn#Territory


This class is a sub class of TSNComponent

TerritoryVersion (OWL Class) Definition In use

The TerritoryVersion concept describes a unique representation of a Territory at a specified period of time. As the boundaries of a territory may vary (e.g., fusion with another territory), it results succesives versions of it. A territory may have as many versions as it underwent modifications. For instance, the European Union of 27 and the European Union of 28 member states are two versions of the European Union territory.

A Version resource hold all the attributs of a TSNComponent that may vary, i.e., all attributs except those that hold the identity of the resource (i.e. Identifier of the TSNComponent). The Version concept is closed to the TimeSlice concept of ontologies of fluent.

The domain of this property is NomenclatureVersion

pav:hasVersion (Property) Definition In use

This resource has a more specific, versioned resource. This property is intended for relating a non-versioned or abstract resource to several versioned resources, e.g. snapshots. For instance, if there are two snapshots of the News page, made on 23rd and 24th of December, then: <http://news.example.com/> pav:hasVersion <http://news.example.com/2013-12-23/> ; pav:hasVersion <http://news.example.com/2013-12-24/> . If one of the versions has somewhat the equivalent content to this resource (e.g. can be used as a permalink for this resource), then it should instead be indicated with the subproperty pav:hasCurrentVersion: <http://news.example.com/> pav:hasCurrentVersion <http://news.example.com/2013-12-25 > . To order the versions, use pav:previousVersion: <http://news.example.com/2013-12-25/> pav:previousVersion <http://news.example.com 2013-12-24/> . <http://news.example.com/2013-12-24/> pav:previousVersion <http://news.example.com/2013-12-23/> . Note that it might be confusing to also indicate pav:previousVersion from a resource that has pav:hasVersion relations, as such a resource is intended to be a long-living 'unversioned' resource. The PAV ontology does however not formally restrict this, to cater for more complex scenarios with multiple abstraction levels. pav:hasVersion is a subproperty of dcterms:hasVersion to more strongly define this hierarchical pattern. It is therefore also a subproperty of pav:generalizationOf (inverse of prov:specializationOf). To indicate the existence of other, non-hierarchical kind of editions and adaptations of this resource that are not versioned snapshots (e.g. Powerpoint slides has a video recording version), use instead dcterms:hasVersion or prov:alternateOf.
