Description of a Model (DOAM). A Risk Model Ontology: Description back to ToC

• The DOAM Ontology is available for importing programmatically at DOAM Namespace
• The DOAM Ontology is available for inspecting via a browser at DOAM Documentation

There are three key elements to the DOAM ontology:

• The DOAM Classes (Concepts) that define the relevant aspects of the "Risk Model Universe"
• DOAM Object Properties (Relationships between classes / concepts), e.g. A model has a model validator
• Data Properties (Data literals associated with classes / concepts), e.g. A model has a required input

DOAM is embedded and used in the Open Risk Manual and associated Open Source Projects. Various risk manual entries (pages) serve as additional documentation (annotation) of DOAM elements (the relevant page is indicated / linked to via rdfs:seeAlso annotations in the DOAM file itself). Open Source Risk Models use manual entries as the definitive Abstract Risk Model documentation page. The DOAM ontology is imported to use by the semantic mediawiki extension (enables more sophisticated queries)
