Description*
|
SCO-U aligns the SCO vocabulary with gUFO (UFO implementation in the Web Ontology Language (OWL))., SCO is a middle-level ontology, representing the major theoretical challenges to sustainability:
1) The polysemy of the term sustainability.
2) The relationship between sustainability and sustainable development.
3) The complexity underlying sustainability.
SCO aims to play a pivotal role in harmonizing and integrating top-level and domain ontologies regarding sustainability., SCO V1.1.0 aligns with two Top-Level Ontologies (TLOs), Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) and Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO). SCO V1.1.0 is comprised of two segments: SCO-B (B for BFO) and SCO-U (U for UFO). SCO-B aligns the SCO vocabulary with BFO (as SCO V1.0.0). SCO-U aligns the SCO vocabulary with gUFO (UFO implementation in the Web Ontology Language (OWL)). This file provides SCO-U segment.

Notes
|
Currently, running the GUFO rules’ validator suggests that the following classes need to be either “specialized by a sortal or specialize another non-sortal which is in its turn specialized by a sortal”.
https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000013
https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000014
https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000026
https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000027
https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000028
https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000029
https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000033
https://www.w3id.org/sco/sco-u#SCO_0000036
In fact, these classes are non-sortal and are not specialized by any class of a specific kind. We do not regard this as problematic because SCO aims to provide a general high-level layer of representation to extend within more domain-focused ontologies. SCO-extending ontologies can specialize these classes with subclasses of specific kinds thereby easily addressing and resolving this concern.
“Complex system property” and “information content entity” classes specialize “aspect” class appositely. The first aims to be a grouping for different system properties. The second requires further discussion as UFO does not address presentations of information (see comment to the class).
