text/htmlHTMLapplication/jsonJSONtext/plainTurtleBIO: A vocabulary for biographical information2010-05-10This document describes a vocabulary for describing biographical information about people, both living and dead.
The BIO vocabulary contains terms useful for finding out more about people and their backgrounds and has some cross-over into genealogical information.
The approach taken is to describe a person's life as a series of interconnected key events, around which other information can be woven.
This vocabulary defines the event framework and supplies a set of core event types that cover many use cases, but it is expected that it
will be extended in other vocabularies to suit their needs. The intention of this vocabulary is to describe biographical events of people
and this intention carries through to the definitions of the properties and classes which are person-centric rather than neutral. For example
the Employment event puts the person being employed as the principal agent in the event rather than the employer.
The BIO vocabulary defines a number of core classes and properties for describing biographical information:
At its heart the BIO vocabulary is concerned with people, their relationships and the events in their lives. Together these can be
used to build up a narrative of a person's life and their interactions with other people, organizations and the world around them. Events bound intervals
of time that may be associated with particular relationships between people and groups or organisations. Many different types of life event are
defined in this vocabulary including the obvious Birth, Marriage and Death but also Coronation, Performance and even Murder. These events are not intended
to be fully comprehensive but are representative of the types of events associated with biographical material. Currently the relationship segment of the
vocabulary is underspecified with only a generic Relationship class available. It is envisaged that many types of relationship such as families, employments
and ownerships will be specified in the future.
The sequence of events and intervals build a timeline of history against which people and their relationships can be placed. The aim is
to enable simple forms of genealogical reasoning such as determining whether a child was born out of wedlock or the location of a family
given the fact one of their children was attending a particular school. Events are ordered in time by relating them to one another and to abstract
intervals of time:
MarriageThe event of creating uniting the participants into a new family unit, sometimes accompanied by a formal wedding ceremony. This is intended to cover a broad range of marriages including those given formal legal standing, common-law, or by convention. It is not restricted to marriages of two people of the opposite gender, but also includes polygamous and same-sex unions.stableMarked as a stable term2010-05-04Ian DavisMade equivalent to cyc:WeddingEvent_Generic2010-05-04Ian DavisThe marriage of Albert Einstein and Mileva Marić
