Ph.D. Ontology Models and Files

This section provides access to both digital ontology models and OWL files related to the research experimentation summarised in the Semantic Web page.

The Ontology gallery displays high-level digital images, for each OWL Ontology model. The ontology OWL files can be obtained directly below:

• the Immigration OWL file for TREC 401 query topic;
• the Hydro-electric OWL file for TREC 416 query topic;
• the multi-context Tourism OWL file (includes related, multi-context OWL imports) and the Tourism-specific OWL file (no imported contexts files) for TREC 438 query topic.
