Introduction

Official repository for Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology (SWEET) Ontologies.

Accessing SWEET (base ontology)

This table provides links to access the base SWEET ontology, which contains import directives to bring in all the other ontologies.
If you want to browse the entire content SWEET, see the next section below.

Accessing SWEET (all content)

The base URL for SWEET is http://sweetontology.net/sweetAll. You can use this URL in any
OWL-compliant tool, including applications such as Protégé or TopBraid as well as ontology tools such as ROBOT.

What is SWEET?

SWEET is a highly modular ontology suite with ~6000 concepts in ~200 separate ontologies covering Earth system science. SWEET is a mid-level ontology and consists of nine top-level concepts that can be used as a foundation for domain-specific ontologies that extend these top-level SWEET components. SWEET’s own domain-specific ontologies, which extend the upper level ontologies, can provide users interested in further developing a particular domain with a solid set of concepts to get started. SWEET ontologies are written in W3C Turtle; the Terse RDF Triple Language.

Using local copies of ontology

The sweetall.ttl ontology imports all the other sweet components via URL. If you are offline, or working on updates that require using the local copies of the ontology files, copy the catalog-v001.xml file from the root directory of the repository into the src directory before opening sweetAll.ttl in Protege.
