]> Jurisdiction Ontology This ontology defines high level concepts relating to jurisdictions for use in other FIBO ontology elements. This includes a general definition of jurisdiction along with some basic types of jurisdiction, along with the factors which distinguish one type of jurisdiction from another.

The http://www.omg.org/spec/EDMC-FIBO/FND/20130801/Law/Jurisdiction.rdf version of the ontology was was modified per the issue resolutions identified in the FIBO FND 1.0 FTF report and in http://www.omg.org/spec/EDMC-FIBO/FND/1.0/AboutFND-1.0/. The http://www.omg.org/spec/EDMC-FIBO/FND/20141101/Law/Jurisdiction.rdf version of the ontology was was modified per the FIBO 2.0 RFC to integrate LCC. The http://www.omg.org/spec/FIBO/Foundations/20130601/Law/Jurisdiction.owl version of the ontology was revised in advance of the September 2013 New Brunswick, NJ meeting, as follows: (1) to use slash style URI/IRIss (also called 303 URIs, vs. hash style) as required to support server side processing (2) to use version-independent IRIs for all definitions internally as opposed to version-specific IRIs (3) to change the file suffix from .owl to .rdf to increase usability in RDF tools (4) to use 4-level abbreviations and corresponding namespace prefixes for all FIBO ontologies, reflecting a family/specification/module/ontology structure (5) to incorporate changes to the specification metadata to support documentation at the family, specification, module, and ontology level, similar to the abbreviations (6) to revise definitions using more formal sources. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Law/Jurisdiction.rdf version of the ontology was modified to address hygiene issues with respect to text formatting. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Law/Jurisdiction.rdf version of the ontology was modified to eliminate deprecations that are more than 6 months old. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Law/Jurisdiction.rdf version of the ontology was modified to extend the concept of a tax identifier and identification scheme with the applicable jurisdiction. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Law/Jurisdiction.rdf version of the ontology was modified to extend the concept of legal age with the applicable jurisdiction. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Law/Jurisdiction.rdf version of the ontology was modified to integrate jurisdictions with context from the Commons Ontology Library (Commons). The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Law/Jurisdiction.rdf version of the ontology was modified to remove the constraint on jurisdiction that it is governed by some legal system, eliminate the class legal system and its children, which were very general and not used anywhere in FIBO, clean up remaining definitions with better sources, and eliminate an unused import. The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Law/Jurisdiction.rdf version of the ontology was modified to replace additional content that is now available in the OMG Commons Ontology Library (Commons) v1.2 (FND-389). Note that this ontology will be removed from FIBO when the deprecated elements herein are eliminated (after a minimum of 6 months). The https://spec.edmcouncil.org/fibo/ontology/FND/Law/Jurisdiction.rdf version of the ontology was modified to use the Commons Ontology Library (Commons) Annotation Vocabulary rather than the OMG's Specification Metadata vocabulary.
