Complete TwinShip ontology for digital twins of ships. This is an aggregate ontology that imports the base foundation (twinship-base) plus all domain modules. Use this ontology to get the complete TwinShip conceptual model including vessels and weather. For modular development, import twinship-base and specific modules instead.
## Modeling Approach - Restriction-Based Design
The TwinShip ontology follows a restriction-based modeling approach using OWL class restrictions (owl:Restriction with owl:someValuesFrom, etc.) rather than simple rdfs:domain and rdfs:range assertions. This is the recommended OWL engineering practice as it provides:
- **Precise Semantics**: Restrictions state that instances of a class CAN have certain properties, without forcing classification
- **Avoids Unintended Inferences**: Using rdfs:domain would cause any entity using a property to be automatically classified as a member of the domain class
- **Flexible Modeling**: Multiple classes can use the same property with different constraints
- **OWL Best Practice**: Aligns with OWL 2 design patterns and enables proper use of reasoners
## Visualization and Documentation
Most ontology visualization and documentation tools (WIDOCO, WebVOWL) were designed for RDFS-style ontologies and provide limited support for OWL restriction patterns. They expect simple rdfs:domain and rdfs:range assertions to generate diagrams.
To address this limitation while maintaining correct OWL semantics, we maintain two versions:
1. **Source Version** (in model/ folder): Uses proper OWL restrictions - this is the authoritative version for reasoning and semantic operations
2. **Visualization Version** (auto-generated): A simplified version with explicit rdfs:domain/rdfs:range assertions extracted from restrictions, used solely for documentation generation
Both versions are kept synchronized through automated scripts.

Modeling Approach Note:
The TwinShip ontology follows a restriction-based modeling approach using OWL class restrictions rather than simple rdfs:domain and rdfs:range assertions. This is the recommended OWL engineering practice as it provides precise semantics and avoids unintended inferences that would occur with rdfs:domain (where any entity using a property would automatically be classified as a member of the domain class).
Since most documentation and visualization tools (WIDOCO, WebVOWL) provide limited support for rendering OWL restrictions, we maintain two versions:
1. Source Ontology (This File): Uses proper OWL restrictions - this is the authoritative version for reasoning and semantic operations.
2. Visualization Version (Auto-Generated): A simplified version with explicit rdfs:domain/rdfs:range assertions extracted from restrictions, used solely for generating documentation and diagrams.
Both versions are kept synchronized through automated scripts. See twinship-base for detailed explanation of this modeling practice.
