Define ontologies
This page groups the ontology-definition concerns that, in a fuller platform, usually cover authoring, review, branching, shared semantics, and migration.
Scope for OpenFoundry
The current repository already has the beginnings of this layer through:
- ontology domain contracts in
proto/ontology/* ontology-serviceas the semantic backend- smoke coverage for object types, interfaces, and type properties
- auth and audit services that can support reviewable change flows
Planned subdomains
- ontology overview and lifecycle
- safe testing of ontology changes
- review and proposal workflows
- shared ontologies across teams
- migration between ontology versions
- usage and compute visibility for indexing and query workloads
