Top 5 Tips for Managing and Versioning an Ontology

Summary

  • Track Version Information within the Ontology
    • Tracking the version number in the URL means that the namespace changes with every new update, which can cause difficulties with software integrations. As a result, this method of version tracking is generally not recommended.
  • Use the Semantic Versioning (SEMVER) Standard
  • Have a Plan for Deprecation
  • Keep a changelog
  • Deliver the right version
    • t.2024.07.16.11 seems slightly inconsistent with not tracking version number in the URL
