The PROJECT ontology is designed to enable publication of information describing projects, including research projects. It is not designed to support project management, though sub-activities are included. As far as possible PROJECT is intended to be domain-neutral, and it is expected that domains and applications will specialize or extend this ontology for more specific purposes.
The ontology gives terms to support the representation of:
One specialization is included - the Research Project - which has been the subject of several predecessor designs that have informed the design of this ontology.
PROJECT extends the W3C PROV-O ontology. Otherwise, it has no dependencies except for the normal RDF/OWL infrastructure (RDF [rdf11-concepts], RDFS [rdf-schema], OWL [owl2-quick-reference]), Dublin Core [dc-terms] for some ontology metadata, and SKOS [skos-reference] to support some relationships between Role values, and project classification.
A summary of the main classes and relationships in PROJECT is shown in the diagram below, including the key superclass prov:Activity

---|---|
Description | There are a number of distinctive stakeholders in a project, in particular: a leader who is accountable for the delivery of project outcomes; a sponsor under whose authority the project is undertaken; funders; and project staff or participants. In some cases it is useful to provide specific details of a participant's role in the project. PROJECT provides a number of ways to represent the relationships of stakeholders to projects and activities. The standard role of _leader_ is implemented as a directly named property from an `prov:Activity` to a `prov:Agent`, and _sponsor_ as a directly named property from a `proj:Project` to a `prov:Agent`. We distinguish one sub-class, the `proj:ResearchProject`, in which the leader(s) is known as a _Principal Investigator_, and which is classified according to its _field of research_. |
