The BIO vocabulary contains terms useful for finding out more about people and their backgrounds and has some cross-over into genealogical information. The approach taken is to describe a person's life as a series of interconnected key events, around which other information can be woven. This vocabulary defines the event framework and supplies a set of core event types that cover many use cases, but it is expected that it will be extended in other vocabularies to suit their needs. The BIO vocabulary defines a number of core classes and properties for describing biographical information: Figure: Biography Vocabulary Core Classes (PNG version, SVG version) At its heart the BIO vocabulary is concerned with people, their relationships and the events in their lives.

Abstract This document describes a core ontology for organizational structures, aimed at supporting linked-data publishing of organizational information across a number of domains. Status of this document This is an editor's draft without any formal standing. Changes to the ontology will be announced on the public-lod mail list. Table of Contents 1. This ontology was original motivated by a need to publish information relating to government organizational structure as part of the data.gov.uk initiative. The ontology gives minimal basic terms to support representation of: This coverage corresponds to the type of information typically found in organizational charts. The ontology does not provide category structures for organization type, organization purpose or roles. Overview of ontology Namespace Design notes.
FOAF Vocabulary Specification. Classes Class: foaf:Agent Agent - An agent (eg. person, group, software or physical artifact).
The Agent class is the class of agents; things that do stuff. A well known sub-class is Person, representing people. Other kinds of agents include Organization and Group. The Agent class is useful in a few places in FOAF where Person would have been overly specific. [#] [back to top] Class: foaf:Document Document - A document. The Document class represents those things which are, broadly conceived, 'documents'. The Image class is a sub-class of Document, since all images are documents.
We do not (currently) distinguish precisely between physical and electronic documents, or between copies of a work and the abstraction those copies embody. [#] [back to top] Class: foaf:Group Group - A class of Agents. The Group class represents a collection of individual agents (and may itself play the role of a Agent, ie. something that can perform actions). Here is an example. <!
