A profile of OWL for the purposes of Australian Government Linked Data Working Group.
This is a profile, that is a specification that constrains, extends, combines, or provides guidance or explanation about the usage of another specifications. In this case, this profile constrains the OWL 2 Web Ontology Language RDF-Based Semantics to ensure that the ontology, and things it defines, contain properties for cataloguing and documentation purposes.
Future versions of this profile may include requirements for modelling patterns too, but currently requirements are only for certain forms of annotation.
This profile is formally described using the Profiles Vocabulary and a machine-redable (RDF) and human-readable (HTML) form of it are available:
his profile's persistent URI:
This Profile contains several different resources.

Four examples of ontologies - two valid, two invalid - are given in this repository's top-level folder:
