These are the principal changes between the last public release, version 1.20, and this version 1.50. In summary, these changes include:

  • Removed all instance or individual listings from UMBEL; this change does NOT affect the punning used in UMBEL's design (see Metamodeling in Domain Ontologies)
  • Re-aligned the SuperTypes to better support computability of the UMBEL graph and its resulting disjointedness
  • These SuperTypes were eliminated with concepts re-assigned: Earthscape, Extraterrestrial, Notations and Numbers
  • These new SuperTypes were introduced: AreaRegion, AtomsElements, BiologicalProcesses, Forms, LocationPlaces, and OrganicChemistry, with logically reasoned assignments of RefConcepts
  • The Shapes SuperType is a new ST that is inherently non-disjoint because it is shared with about half of the RefConcepts
  • The Situations is an important ST, overlooked in prior efforts, that helps better establish context for Activities and Events
  • Made re-alignments in UMBEL's upper structure and introduced additional upper-level categories to better accommodate these refinements in SuperTypes
  • A typology was created for each of the resulting 31 disjoint STs, which enabled missing concepts to be identified and added and to better organize the concepts within each given ST
  • The broad adoption of the typology design for all of the (disjoint) SuperTypes also meant that prior module efforts, specifically Geo and Attributes, could now be made general to all of UMBEL. This re-integration also enabled us to retire these older modules without affecting functionality
  • The tests and refinements necessary to derive this design caused us to create flexible build and testing scripts, documented via literate programming (using Clojure)
  • Updated all mappings to DBpedia, Wikipedia, and schema.org
  • Incorporated donated mappings to five additionial LOV vocabularies
  • Tested the UMBEL structure for consistency and coherence
  • Updated all prior UMBEL documentation
  • Expanded and updated the UMBEL.org Web site, with access and demos of UMBEL.
