Changelog

All notable changes to this project's ontology and/or knowledge graph will be documented in this file.

1.2 - 2026-07-18

Release | Diff

Ontology

  • Declared monomyth:hasHero and monomyth:heroOf as sub-properties of monomyth:hasCharacter and monomyth:characterOf respectively (rdfs:subPropertyOf), making the hero/character hierarchy explicit at the schema level while preserving existing explicit triples.
  • Fixed incorrect class name MonomythInstance → MonomythExpression in the rdfs:comment of monomyth:stageRealizationOrder.

1.1 - 2026-05-21

Release | Diff

Ontology

  • Introduced monomyth:stageRealizationOf as inverse of monomyth:hasStageRealization to enable bidirectional navigation between StageRealization and MonomythExpression.
  • Added extensive OWL disjointness axioms across core classes (owl:disjointWith) to enforce clear semantic boundaries.
  • Added explicit inequality assertions among key individuals (owl:differentFrom) for acts, stages, archetypes, and fit-quality values.
  • Tightened constraints with additional property characteristics:
    • Functional object properties (e.g. monomyth:belongsToAct, monomyth:realizesStage, monomyth:hasFitQuality).
    • monomyth:followsStage marked as owl:FunctionalProperty, owl:IrreflexiveProperty, and owl:AsymmetricProperty.
    • Functional datatype properties (e.g. monomyth:actOrder, monomyth:stageOrder, monomyth:fitScore, monomyth:stageRealizationOrder).
  • Changed ranges from xsd:string to rdfs:Literal for:
    • monomyth:fitNote
    • monomyth:realizationDescription
    • monomyth:divergenceRationale
  • Removed owl:FunctionalProperty from monomyth:stageRealizationOf so a StageRealization can belong to multiple MonomythExpressions.
  • Declared all ontology individuals also as owl:NamedIndividual (acts, stages, archetypes, fit-quality values) for clearer semantic distinction.
  • Expanded/rewrote several narrative comments and reordered some triples for clarity.
  • Added VANN metadata:
    • vann:preferredNamespacePrefix
    • vann:preferredNamespaceUri
    • vann:example
    • vann:changes
  • Added new documentation URL in rdfs:seeAlso.
  • Updated ontology version metadata:
    • owl:versionInfo → 1.1
    • owl:versionIRI → /1.1/ontology.ttl
    • Added owl:priorVersion pointing to 1.0
  • Updated dcterms:modified to release date of v1.1 update.

Knowledge Graph

  • Dataset root now typed as both owl:Ontology and void:Dataset.
  • Replaced dcterms:conformsTo with explicit owl:imports <.../1.1/ontology.ttl>.
  • Added versioning metadata:
    • owl:versionInfo "1.1"
    • owl:versionIRI <.../1.1/graph.ttl>
    • owl:priorVersion <.../1.0/graph.ttl>
  • Updated distribution/access metadata:
    • void:dataDump → 1.1/graph.ttl
    • added void:sparqlEndpoint
    • added void:uriSpace
  • Updated dcterms:modified to release date of v1.1 update.

1.0 - 2026-05-13

Release

OWL ontology for modeling narrative works through Campbell's monomyth framework. 11 classes, 26 properties (19 object, 7 datatype), serialized in Turtle at the monomyth# namespace.

Core modeling patterns: MonomythExpression anchors per-work interpretations; StageRealization captures concrete manifestations of Campbell's 17 stages with ordered positioning and prose descriptions; FitQuality provides a six-point assessment scale (PerfectFit through InvertedFit). Character-archetype linkage follows Vogler's dramaturgy via embodiesArchetype.

Three divergence classes (NarrativeDivergence, SequentialDivergence, SemioticDivergence) model departures along the what/when/how axes, each with prose rationales. Integrates selected CREON elements (Gangemi & Lucifora, 2024) for creative product divergence classification.

Includes 12 instantiated knowledge graphs spanning ancient myth, classic literature, film, animation, videogames, and music.
