The FAIR Model Catalog for Ontology-Driven Conceptual Modeling Research, commonly referred to as OntoUML/UFO Catalog, is a structured and open-source catalog that contains OntoUML and UFO ontology models. It was conceived to allow collaborative work and to be easily accessible to all its users.
The goal of the OntoUML/UFO Catalog is to support empirical research in OntoUML and UFO, as well as for the general conceptual modeling area, by providing high-quality curated, structured, and machine-processable data on why, where, and how different modeling approaches are used.
The catalog offers a diverse collection of models, created by modelers with varying modeling skills, for a range of domains and different purposes. The models are available in machine-readable formats (JSON and Turtle) and are accessible via permanent identifiers.
The catalog has two data services through which we store and publish its content: this Git repository for data storage, and a FAIR Data Point (FDP) for data discovery. While we outline the FDP in this document, the focus of this documentation is on the catalog’s repository.
An overview of the catalog is provided by a dashboard at the persistent URL http://w3id.org/ontouml-models/dashboard.
