Evaluation results


There are three levels of importance in pitfalls according to their impact on the ontology:
  • Critical It is crucial to correct the pitfall. Otherwise, it could affect the ontology consistency, reasoning, applicability, etc.
  • Important Though not critical for ontology function, it is important to correct this type of pitfall.
  • Minor It is not really a problem, but by correcting it we will make the ontology nicer.

Pitfalls detected:


Ontology elements (classes, object properties and datatype properties) are created isolated, with no relation to the rest of the ontology.

• This pitfall appears in the following elements:
http://schema.org/Intangible
http://purl.org/dc/dcmitype/Collection

Two relationships are defined as inverse relations when they are not necessarily inverse.

• This pitfall appears in the following elements:
http://comicmeta.org/cbo/series may not be inverse of http://comicmeta.org/cbo/seriesOf
http://comicmeta.org/cbo/contains may not be inverse of http://comicmeta.org/cbo/inBox
http://comicmeta.org/cbo/adaptation may not be inverse of http://comicmeta.org/cbo/adaptationOf

This pitfall consists in creating an ontology element and failing to provide human readable annotations attached to it. Consequently, ontology elements lack annotation properties that label them (e.g. rdfs:label, lemon:LexicalEntry, skos:prefLabel or skos:altLabel) or that define them (e.g. rdfs:comment or dc:description). This pitfall is related to the guidelines provided in [5].

• The following elements have neither rdfs:label or rdfs:comment (nor skos:definition) defined:
http://schema.org/ComicCoverArt
http://schema.org/ComicIssue
http://schema.org/IndividualProduct
http://schema.org/Intangible

http://purl.org/dc/terms/description
http://purl.org/dc/terms/title

• The following elements have neither rdfs:comment or skos:definition defined:
http://schema.org/sku

The ontology lacks disjoint axioms between classes or between properties that should be defined as disjoint. This pitfall is related with the guidelines provided in [6], [2] and [7].

*This pitfall applies to the ontology in general instead of specific elements.

Object and/or datatype properties without domain or range (or none of them) are included in the ontology.

• This pitfall appears in the following elements:

http://schema.org/creator
http://schema.org/publisher
http://comicmeta.org/cbo/artworkType

Tip: Solving this pitfall may lead to new results for other pitfalls and suggestions. We encourage you to solve all cases when needed and see what else you can get from OOPS!

This pitfall appears when any relationship (except for those that are defined as symmetric properties using owl:SymmetricProperty) does not have an inverse relationship (owl:inverseOf) defined within the ontology.

• OOPS! has the following suggestions for the relationships without inverse:
http://comicmeta.org/cbo/owner could be inverse of http://comicmeta.org/cbo/ownerOf

• Sorry, OOPS! has no suggestions for the following relationships without inverse:

The domain or range (or both) of a property (relationships and attributes) is defined by stating more than one rdfs:domain or rdfs:range statements. In OWL multiple rdfs:domain or rdfs:range axioms are allowed, but they are interpreted as conjunction, being, therefore, equivalent to the construct owl:intersectionOf. This pitfall is related to the common error that appears when defining domains and ranges described in [7].

• This pitfall appears in the following elements:
http://comicmeta.org/cbo/creator
http://comicmeta.org/cbo/state
http://comicmeta.org/cbo/owner
http://comicmeta.org/cbo/ownerOf

This pitfall consists in missing the definition of equivalent classes (owl:equivalentClass) in case of duplicated concepts. When an ontology reuses terms from other ontologies, classes that have the same meaning should be defined as equivalent in order to benefit the interoperability between both ontologies.

• The following classes might be equivalent:
http://comicmeta.org/cbo/Publication, http://comicmeta.org/cbo/Issue
http://comicmeta.org/cbo/Character, http://comicmeta.org/cbo/Role, http://comicmeta.org/cbo/Quality
http://comicmeta.org/cbo/Event, http://comicmeta.org/cbo/Issue

Two classes are defined as equivalent, using owl:equivalentClass, when they are not necessarily equivalent.

• The following classes might not be equivalent:
http://comicmeta.org/cbo/Issue, http://schema.org/ComicIssue
