v1.0.0-rc3

1.0.0-rc3 version of the EMMO focuses on the consolidation of the Reference level. The EMMO will not make significant changes up the 1.0.0 release, except for the resolution of issues and bugs that will be performed in the 1.0.0-rc4 branch.

Release of the 1.0.0 is expected by the end of January 2025.

The list of consolidated modules can be seen in the below figure. Modules below Reference level (e.g., metrology, ISQ, chemistry) will be subject of changes after the 1.0.0 release to extend further down the consolidated state of the EMMO framework.

v1.0.0-rc1

What's Changed

Large update of master. Main highlights:

• changed base IRI from http://emmo.info/ to https://w3id.org/emmo/
• revised the formulation of the mereocausal foundation
• separated physics foundation (the standard model) from the perspectives
• revised the middle level ontology (like reworked the formulation of units and quantities with connections to QUDT)

Full Changelog: v1.0.0-beta...v1.0.0-rc1

1.0.0-beta3

Third beta-release of the 1.0.0 version of the EMMO.

The main update in this release include

• semiotics is now a perspective
• added a new data perspective
• added information module that combine data and semiotics
• improved the model description

1.0.0-beta

First beta-release of the 1.0.0 version of the EMMO.

The main update in this release is the introduction of the ordinal module, which introduces semantics for countability and ordering. Other updates include:

• the Physicalistic branch was extended with more classes
• some corrections of physical quantities and units

1.0.0-alpha2

The second pre-release of the 1.0.0 version of the EMMO.

Previous releases are no more supported, nor compatible with the 1.0.0 and next versions of the EMMO.

It provides the basic top level structure of the EMMO, together with a set of perspectives that constitute the middle level to be used for the development of more specialized domain ontologies.

This release:

• replaces label with skos:prefLabel as the main label for all entities. skos:altLabel is provided for common synonyms
• populates the continuum and material brances under the physicalistic perspective
• clean up the perceptual branch
• add more physical quantities and units
• add physical dimensionalities to units and pysical quantities (as annotations to reduce the reasoning time)
• add a test suite for checking sub-modules against the EMMO convention

1.0.0-alpha

The first pre-release of the 1.0.0 version of the EMMO.

Previous releases are no more supported, nor compatible with the 1.0.0 and next versions of the EMMO.

It provides the basic top level structure of the EMMO, together with a set of perspectives that constitute the middle level to be used for the development of more specialized domain ontologies.

Middel level includes a detailed metrology branch including the International System of Quantities and SI system, laying the foundation for a semiotic-based property system.

Next alpha releases will include:

• chemical composition
• extension of the physical quantities set
• position-based symbolic structures (e.g. list, array)
• test suite for checking sub-modules against the EMMO convention

EMMO Development Version 0.9.10

Development version for testing and contributions before the v1.0.0 release.

Development Version 0.9.9-beta

First public development version of the EMMO for testing and contributions.
