Corshu

Corshu (CO-cReation of SHared Understanding on climate and air pollution policies) is an application to be sent to the strategic research council of the Academy of Finland on 11th Jan, 2017. It is based on ideas of open assessment, open policy practice, shared understanding and its implementation method, co-creation, and ontological approach to organising self-organised contributions into scientifically valid content. The research plan is an advanced version of what was applied with application Parsha from the Academy in September 2016.

Ontologies

Ontologies are systematic languages used to describe topics in a standardised way. In this project, we will specifically use web ontology language (OWL 2) and resource description framework (RDF) databases to support the content described in the the OWL language. Here are some links to descriptions of the methods.

• en:Web Ontology Language a general description on Wikipedia. On W3C website: Overview, Primer (syntax and examples, Quick reference guide, Direct semantics (expressed as logical clauses),
• SPARQL language in R,
• Open policy practice ontology described in WebProtégé
• [1] "has as part" in Wikidata --# : Check what can be found from OWL and RDFS and what needs to be specified in the specific ontology. --Jouni (talk) 15:07, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
