ADOLENA v2 -- the Abilities and Disabilities OntoLogy for ENhancing Accessibility This version is a simplified version from the Adolena v1 ontology.
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.
MK: the "assistsWith" in the sense of that some person has a disability and then the device assists with realizing some ability
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 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)
MK: changed from "Amputee" (which is the person that has something amputated, whereas here we do not focus on the person him/herself)
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.

MK: renamed from "move all limbs" instance
MK: renamed from "move only lower limb" instance RA: Removed isAssistedBy some NAP:Wheelchair
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.
RA:Moved from under NAP:PhyscalAbility to under NAP: Ability
