OSi Building Ontology
This ontology is a representaiton of the internal structure of the OSi Prime2 data model. It is not currently employed for public facing building data, which makes use of the more generalised OSi Spatial Ontology (http://ontologies.geohive.ie/osi/). The Irish labels for concepts introduce for this ontology are still pending approval. The Irish labels are thus still subject to change and missing labels will be added in due time.
To relate two features that are similar, but not quite the same. Currently used to relate EDs and CENSUS EDs, amongst others. Investigation of the use of http://open.vocab.org/terms/similarTo can be foreseen in the future.

All SuperImposed buildings have Address properties. Addressable Building and BuildingUnit objects carry a mandatory property, GeoID. Building, BuildingUnit and Structure objects have a mandatory property, WaySegValue, which holds the GUID of the serving Way object. The data model has built-in extra capacity for additional address properties that may be used in the future, such as a property to allow for the holding of Eircodes.
Address
A building in OSi is a human construction, designed for residence, shelter storage, or a business premises. It is represented by its form, function, status, address, zorder, way segment and geometry. The geometry includes a geodetic coordinate for the building and the polygon footprint of the buildings. Many objects provide properties to facilitate recording distinctive names. Where these properties apply, both Irish and English names may be captured.
The number of the building. Address connects the “Building Number” and “Way Segment” attributes.
Building Number
The agent (source) who is responsible for capturing a data, e.g. "OSi", "Local Party", etc.
Capture Source
A stage in a feature's lifecycle where some attributes change. An enumerated list of types of change to data, e.g "New Feature", "Reengineered", "Error Correction", etc.
Change Activity
Form here refers to the general physical characteristics, composition, or construction of a building. All OSi Classified buildings have a mandatory, non-null, Form value. This value is taken from an enumerated list of values.
Building Form
Building Function is more specific (and functional) than Form; it reflects what the building is, does, or what it is used for. OSiClassified buildings have a mandatory Function value, but this value may be null for some buildings in accordance with the Specification for the particular building. The Function value must be valid when combined with the Form value for an object. This value is taken from an enumerated list of possible values.
Building Function
A QualifiedForm refers to a Form value for a building at a particular dateTime. All buildings have a (current) Form value and will also have one or more QualifiedForm values, the most recent of which is the same value as the current Form value of the building.
Qualified Form
A QualifiedFunction refers to a Function value for a building at a particular dateTime. All buildings have a Function value and will also have one or more QualifiedFunction values, the most recent of which is the same as the Function value of the building.
Qualified Function
A QualifiedNumber refers to a Number value for a building at a particular dateTime. All buildings have a Number value and will also have one or more QualifiedNumber values, the most recent of which is the same as the Number value of the building.
Qualified Number
A QualifiedStatus refers to a Status value for a building at a particular dateTime. All buildings have a Status value and will also have one or more QualifiedStatus values, the most recent of which is the same as the Status value of the building.
Qualified Status
A QualifiedWaySegment refers to a Way Segment value for a building at a particular dateTime. All buildings have a Way Segment value and will also have one or more QualifiedWaySegment values, the most recent of which is the same as the Way Segment value of the building.
Qualified Way Segment
A QualifiedZOrder refers to a ZOrder value for a building at a particular dateTime. All buildings have a ZOrder value and will also have one or more QualifiedZOrder values, the most recent of which is the same as the ZOrder value of the building.
Qualified ZOrder
All SuperImposed buildings have a Status property, which is a Life Cycle property. This property is to facilitate building management. The initial Status values in DLM Core will default to "In Use". There are currently 8 enumerated values.
Building Status
An enumerated list of authorative bodies who validate capture of data, and changes to data, e.g OSi.
Building Validation Authority
Way segments represent all drivable and walkable roads and paths. All Ways from Motorway to Fifth Class have polygon geometry; some lower class roads may also have polygon geometry.
Building Way Segment
Exceptions are allowed to the Skin-of-The-Earth ‘no overlap’ rule, where objects actually share the same horizontal space in the real world, for example where a road crosses a river. Both the road and the river are unbroken objects; therefore DLM Core allows them to overlap. A ZOrder property can be specified for each building to indicate the vertical order of the cross-over objects. Objects that overlap must not have the same ZOrder value.
