v1.1

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.

Initial 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.
