Murdoch Munro Collection Ontology

description

Description - 

This ontology is used to describe information related to the Murdoch Munro Collection (an online collection of letters, postcards, photographs, and objects once owned by Murdoch Munro - 1895-1961). It is not meant as a way to describe the items in the collection in the way the metadata does (title, size, dates, etc). Instead it provides a means to structure, explore, and visualize the main concepts and entities identified in the collection's items, and relationships between them.

Tools - 

The ontology was created using Protege 3.5 ontology editor. Protege is a free, open-source platform to construct domain models and knowledge-based applications with ontologies.

Index of Classes

This index shows a hierarchy of classes and sub-classes. Sub-classes inherit properties from the parent class, and the sub-classes have properties which are further unique to their class. The properties are not shown in this illustration (see below).
