OntoAndalus is an ontology of pottery artefacts of al-Andalus, a relevant topic in Islamic archaeological studies in Spain and Portugal. The purpose of OntoAndalus is to further knowledge in the domain and to facilitate the development of a multilingual terminological resource based on formal descriptions or definitions of concepts and other units of knowledge.
OntoAndalus is being developed in OWL. It is presently aligned with the DOLCE+DnS Ultralite top-level ontology.
Work carried out in the context of a PhD project funded by the FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (Portugal). Studentship no. PD/BD/105765/2014.
