[0.11.9] - 2025-10-29

Changed

  • Completed the UML Note Classification (color coding) rollout:
  • Fixed remaining notes in Visual Paradigm diagrams that were not updated in the previous release.
  • Ensured all notes consistently follow the standardized categories (SEMI, CNST, RATL, SCOP, TRAC, EXMP, TODO) with the prescribed colors and formatting.

Added

    • lastPublishedInVersion
    • reviewedBy
  • Enables precise lifecycle tracking and validation according to the Ontology Lifecycle and Validation Policy.

Not serialized

  • Tagged values and note color data are part of the .vpp (Visual Paradigm) model and are not exported to .json or .ttl artifacts. These remain editor metadata supporting governance and visual consistency.

[0.11.8] - 2025-10-28

Changed

  • Applied the UML Note Classification (color coding) policy across the ontology diagrams in the Visual Paradigm model:
  • All notes now follow the standardized categories (SEMI, CNST, RATL, SCOP, TRAC, EXMP, TODO) with the prescribed colors and formatting.
  • This is a visual/editorial update only and does not change the ontology's logical content.

Not serialized

Removed

  • No classes were removed in this release.

[0.11.6] - 2025-10-27

Added

  • Ontology metadata for release 0.11.6:

  • owl:versionIRI, owl:versionInfo, dcterms:modified, and dcterms:conformsTo links to v0.11.6/json and v0.11.6/vpp.

  • Introduced Month as an enumerated value type with individuals January … December.

  • New properties tied to the refactor:

    • date (object property; domain OffsetDateTime, range Date).
    • utcOffsetMinutes and nanosecond (data properties on OffsetDateTime).

  • Documentation:

  • Rich rdfs:comment added for OffsetDateTime describing field ranges (year/month/day, leap-year rules, hour/minute/second, fractional second precision) and timezone offset format.

  • month: now an object property to Month (previously xsd:int).

  • Diagnostic/sex-related formalizations:

  • Minor refinements to partitions/disjointness/equivalences across diagnostic outcomes (Diagnosis vs NoDiagnosisOutcome), karyotypical classes, and dimorphic characteristics; definitions tightened without changing intended semantics.

  • Textual improvements:

  • Clarified wording in several rdfs:comment notes across diagnosing agents/persons, gender/sex facets, and health condition groupings for precision and consistency.

Removed

  • Legacy temporal artifacts deprecated by the refactor:

Changed

  • Clarified and consolidated definitions using owl:equivalentClass partitions (e.g., for Allosome, DiagnosedEntity, DiagnosingAgent, HealthcareDiagnosis, HealthCondition) without altering intended semantics.
  • Textual improvements to multiple rdfs:comment notes for precision and consistency (e.g., administrative/legal gender recognition patterns, agent/document scopes).

Changed

  • Reassigned internal OntoUML element identifiers to improve structural consistency and tooling traceability:
  • Multiple id values for classes, generalizations, and relations were systematically rotated or swapped.
  • These changes have no impact on the logical content or semantics of the ontology but support improved internal alignment.

Removed

  • Class: Organization (previously defined as a kind) was removed from the ontology.
  • It included a description as a structured group with roles, responsibilities, and formal authority.
  • If still needed, its usage should be reintroduced in future updates or considered as part of an external reference ontology.

Added

  • Introduced new classes to represent administrative gender assignments:
