Multiple Vocabulary Facility (MVF) Terminologies Ontology
The MVF ontology consists of three components: - a core ontology corresponding to the MVF metamodel, - an extension representing the subset of the ISO 1087 reference vocabulary used in other ISO standards for vocabulary representation, - an extension that incorporates additional vocabulary from ISO 1087 for terminology science. MVF also reuses several ontologies from the OMG Commons library for specific patterns, including designations, collections, and classifiers (this ontology).
Note that the set of ontologies provided for MVF do not provide exhaustive coverage of ISO 1087. We have not incorporated the terms related to data validation or natural language processing in the latest version of the standard, and certain classes under the heading of concept relation in the standard are handled as properties herein.
