Ontology
version info: ADOLENA v2 -- the Abilities and Disabilities OntoLogy for ENhancing Accessibility This version is a simplified version from the Adolena v1 ontology.
creator: Ronell Albert and Aurona Gerber
type: This is an *experimental* ontology to demonstrate the proof-of-concept of OBDA with a real database, being the database behind the National Accessibility Portal; i.e. enhancing the NAP with an additional semantic layer to improve querying (compared to the keyword search now). This version is a simplified version from the Adolena v1 ontology. The aim is to only include the concepts and properties needed for the OBDA experiment in order to manually simplify the ontology to DL-LiteA. The next release will be a 'full' domain ontology mainly about abilities, disabilities, and assistive devices.

assistsWith
type: ObjectProperty
comment: MK: the "assistsWith" in the sense of that some person has a disability and then the device assists with realizing some ability

Ability
type: Class
subclass of: Thing
subclass of: Restriction
  on property: AUX1
  some values from: Thing
subclass of: Restriction
  on property: AUX0
  some values from: Thing
disjoint with: Device
disjoint with: Disability
comment: The Abilities are divided into two main groups: Physical abilities and sensory abilities. Other abilities will be added later such as mental and intellectual abilities.

Achondroplasia
type: Class
subclass of: PhysicalDisability
comment: Achondroplasia is a type of autosomal dominant genetic disorder that is a common cause of dwarfism. Achondroplastic dwarfs have short stature, with an average adult height of 131 cm (4 feet 3.8 inches) for males and 123 cm (4 feet 0.6 inches) for females. Achondroplasia is a result of an autosomal dominant mutation in the fibroblast growth factor receptor gene 3 (FGFR3), which causes an abnormality of cartilage formation. (from Wikipedia)

Amputation
type: Class
subclass of: PhysicalDisability
comment: MK: changed from "Amputee" (which is the person that has something amputated, whereas here we do not focus on the person him/herself)

Disability
type: Class
subclass of: Thing
subclass of: Restriction
  on property: AUX18
  some values from: Thing
comment: MK: do these things count as "diseases", or, say, a certain constellation of physical observables, put differently, as a "system", in the sense of being composed of endurants [more precisely: physical objects] and perdurants? If the latter, I think we can put "system" under endurant and say it has as parts EDs and POBs, and then Disability under System. summary of duscussion: a disability is not a disease, but a consequence of a disease (or of other things, like congenital, accident, etc.). So, e.g. "Multiple Sclerosis" in the ontology here is not meant to be the disease as classified in e.g. ICD10 but the debilitating effects of the disease.

LightweightFoldable Wheelchair
type: Class
subclass of: Foldable Wheelchair
subclass of: Lightweight Wheelchair
comment: Light weight rigid foldable manual wheelchair

LimbMobility
type: Class
subclass of: MovementAbility
comment: MK: renamed from "move all limbs" instance

LowerLimbMobility
type: Class
subclass of: LimbMobility
disjoint with: UpperLimbMobility
comment: MK: renamed from "move only lower limb" instance RA: Removed isAssistedBy some NAP:Wheelchair

Quadriplegia
type: Class
subclass of: PhysicalDisability
subclass of: Restriction
  on property: AUX24
  some values from: Thing
subclass of: Restriction
  on property: AUX23
  some values from: Thing
comment: MK: it is arguable if quadriplegia is also a type of Muscle_Impairment. Clearly, if the nerves do not work well, then the muscles do not, but from the perspective of subject domain semantics, this may not be a particularly useful logical deduction.

SensoryAbility
type: Class
subclass of: Ability
disjoint with: SpeechAbility
comment: RA:Moved from under NAP:PhyscalAbility to under NAP: Ability

Talking Thermometer
type: Class
subclass of: TalkingReading
comment: Tells indoor / outdoor temperature and alarm time. Gives readings on large LCD display and in voice with volume and on/off control

UpperLimbMobility
type: Class
subclass of: LimbMobility
comment: MK: renamed from "move only upper limb" instance

TalkingReading
type: Class
subclass of: ReadingDevice
subclass of: Restriction
  on property: AUX8
  some values from: Thing
subclass of: Restriction
  on property: AUX9
  some values from: Thing
comment: like books on audio tape
