This includes data sources, business applications, stakeholders and processes they support. To make this possible TopQuadrant developed a suite of interconnected models \u2013 TopBraid EDG ontologies. In this blog, we will take a look at them.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">There are over 20 pre-built ontologies. \u00a0Collectively, they contain hundreds of classes and an even greater number of properties. Classes and properties are described using <a id=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/stage.topquadrant.com\/resources\/why-i-use-shacl-for-defining-ontology-models\/\">SHACL<\/a> \u2013 W3C standard for describing Knowledge Graph schemas. This is an overview to get you oriented.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">TopBraid EDG ontology models are ready for use, out of the box. They include:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"\">\n<li id=\"\">\u201cEDG Schema \u2013 Base\u201d and \u201cEDG Schema \u2013 Core\u201d \u2013 these ontologies contain classes common to all collection types.<\/li>\n<li id=\"\">Ontologies corresponding to each asset collection type e.g., \u201cEDG Schema \u2013 Data Assets\u201d \u2013 this ontology is used to more specifically describe different kinds of data assets that may be captured in the Data Asset collection or data catalogs\/data dictionaries in EDG.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"\">You can find files containing these ontologies in your workspace by selecting Files from the EDG\u2019s Collections menu and then \u00a0navigating to the edg.topbraidlive.org\/1.0\/schema folder. If you want to extend or modify any of these models, avoid changing the files directly. At the end of this blog, we will describe a recommended process for modifying EDG ontology models.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">Before we talk about what is contained in each ontology, we describe two key types of classes used by the EDG ontologies. EDG models contain two key types of classes: <strong><em id=\"\">Asset<\/em><\/strong> classes and <strong><em id=\"\">Aspect<\/em><\/strong> classes:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"\">\n<li id=\"\"><strong id=\"\"><em id=\"\">Asset classes<\/em><\/strong> are easy to understand \u2013 they define all the asset types e.g., <em id=\"\">Database, Dataset, Report, Software System<\/em> and so on. These are concrete things you will find easy to relate to. Individual assets are created in EDG as instances of one of the asset classes. Asset classes are organized hierarchically using subclass relationships between more specific and mode general asset types e.g., <em id=\"\">Security Policy<\/em> is a subclass of <em id=\"\">Policy<\/em>. The root of the hierarchy is the class <em id=\"\">Asset<\/em>. Asset classes can also have subclass relationships with aspect classes, inheriting aspects (property groups) as \u201ctraits\u201d or \u201cfeatures\u201d.<\/li>\n<li id=\"\"><strong id=\"\"><em id=\"\">Aspect classes<\/em><\/strong> are more of an abstract notion \u2013 an aspect class comprises all properties describing only a certain aspect of an asset, not the asset itself, e.g. asset documentation. These classes have names like <em id=\"\">Narratable, Identifiable, Processable<\/em>, etc. They are used to organize different qualities (aspects or features) of assets. Aspect classes should have no direct instances. All aspect classes are subclasses of the class <em id=\"\">Aspect\/Feature<\/em>. Aspect classes do not have hierarchical relationships with each other. Using aspect classes makes it easier to manage and maintain large and complex ontologies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"\">This will become clearer if we look at the example below.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center\" data-rt-type=\"image\" data-rt-align=\"center\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ww2.topquadrant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/6329252e844c497e6bf84e36_EDG_Model_blog1-1-1024x612.png\" \/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"\">Asset is a class of type Asset Class. It is a subclass of the <em id=\"\">Status Aspect<\/em>, <em id=\"\">Narratable<\/em> and <em id=\"\">Identifiable<\/em>. \u00a0This means that all assets are:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"\">\u201cStatusable\u201d \u2013 can have a status and associated datesNarratable \u2013 can have description, purpose, etc.Identifiable \u2013 can have acronyms, labels, identifiers, etc.<\/ul>\n<p id=\"\">Subclasses of Asset are more specific types of assets \u2013 as shown below:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center\" data-rt-type=\"image\" data-rt-align=\"center\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ww2.topquadrant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/632925512421a603bec3d51f_EDG_Model_blog1-3-1024x204.png\" \/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"\">Each of the subclasses of <em id=\"\">Asset<\/em> may have its own set of properties in addition to the properties they inherit from parent classes. For example, let\u2019s take a look at the class <em id=\"\">Requirement<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">Since this class is a subclass of the <em id=\"\">Asset<\/em>, a requirement would have properties defined for the <em id=\"\">Asset<\/em> class. Additionally, <em id=\"\">Requirement<\/em> class defines a number of properties that are specific to the requirements. It also has a number of subclasses \u2013 for different types of requirements.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center\" data-rt-type=\"image\" data-rt-align=\"center\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ww2.topquadrant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/63292574d1acbfebac55dd7d_EDG_Model_blog1-2-1024x271.png\" \/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"\">Here is another view of the <em id=\"\">Requirement<\/em> class \u2013 showing other things a requirement may be connected to e.g., use cases.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center\" data-rt-type=\"image\" data-rt-align=\"center\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ww2.topquadrant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/6329258e7290bd3137db9183_EDG_Model_blog1-4-1024x502.png\" \/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"\">As you would guess, if we were to look at other classes, we would see that many have a connection to requirements because most assets we are keeping information about have some associated requirements. For example, as shown below, <em id=\"\">Enterprise Asset<\/em> is a subclass of the aspect class <em id=\"\">Traceable<\/em>. <em id=\"\">Traceable <\/em>aspect comprises relationships that describe traceability of an asset.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center\" data-rt-type=\"image\" data-rt-align=\"center\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ww2.topquadrant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/632925b052c48366616419f4_EDG_Model_blog1-5-1024x776.png\" \/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"\"><strong id=\"\">Traceable are all things that can be connected to requirements and mapped to the business glossary terms. Enterprise assets are things like <\/strong>forms, reports and processes. Technical assets (software and infrastructure) and data assets (databases, datasets, etc.) are also traceable.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">If a group of. properties is reusable across assets that are not subclasses of each other (e.g., enterprise, technical and data assets are not subclasses of each other), EDG ontologies define an aspect class to hold or comprise this group of properties. In this example, the aspect class <em id=\"\">Traceable<\/em>. As we already mentioned, aspect classes make it easier to organize and maintain large and complex ontologies.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">All aspect classes have the type Aspect Class. <em id=\"\">Asset Class<\/em> and <em id=\"\">Aspect Class<\/em> are used to distinguish between the two different types of classes in EDG ontologies. They are subclasses of both, RDFS Class and SHACL Node Shape. RDFS and SHACL are W3C ontology modeling languages. RDFS is a very minimal language. SHACL extends its to offer much richer ways to describe models.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">Let\u2019s come back to the immediate subclasses of <em id=\"\">Asset<\/em>. \u00a0With one exception, each of these classes corresponds to a type of an Asset Collection. In other words, each class is the main entity for a certain category of asset collections. Going from left to right in the first diagram, these classes are:<\/p>\n<p id=\"\"><strong><em id=\"\">Requirement<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 the main entity for the Requirements asset collections. These are catalogs of requirements. There can be multiple Requirements asset collections. The separation can be along the subject areas or along the type of requirements.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\"><strong><em id=\"\">Technical Asset<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 this can be a software asset or a hardware asset. Software assets further partition into a number of subclasses such as applications, systems, software modules and software executables. It is the main entity for the Technical Assets collections. These are catalogs of technical assets. There can be multiple Technical Asset asset collections. The separation can be along the types of assets (e.g., hardware versus software) and\/or along the subject areas.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\"><strong><em id=\"\">Governance Asset<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 assets used to describe organization\u2019s governance framework. Governance Assets are further partitioned into subclasses such as <em id=\"\">Metric, Policy<\/em> and <em id=\"\">Governance Process<\/em>. It is the main entity for the Governance Model asset collection. This is a special asset collection in TopBraid EDG in that there is only one Governance Model collection for a given installation of TopBraid EDG.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\"><strong><em id=\"\">Glossary Term<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 the parent class for terms that are specialized as <em id=\"\">Business Term, Industry Term<\/em> or <em id=\"\">Technical Term<\/em>. It is the main entity for the Glossary asset collections. There can be multiple glossaries.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\"><strong><em id=\"\">Enterprise Asset<\/em> <\/strong>\u2013 includes such things as <em id=\"\">Business Activities<\/em>, <em id=\"\">Business Functions<\/em>, <em id=\"\">Business Capabilities<\/em>, <em id=\"\">Job Roles<\/em>, <em id=\"\">Organizations<\/em>, <em id=\"\">Parties<\/em>, and <em id=\"\">Information Assets<\/em>. It is the main entity for the Enterprise Assets asset collections. There can be multiple collections of this type.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\"><strong><em id=\"\">Datatype<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 the parent class for all datatypes: scalars, enumerated values including scales, and structured types. It is the main entity for the Datatypes asset collections. There can be multiple collections of this type.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\"><strong><em id=\"\">Data Asset<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 any data item that is of value to the enterprise. It can be a <em id=\"\">Database<\/em>, a <em id=\"\">Dataset<\/em>, a <em id=\"\">Data Element<\/em> and many other different types of data assets. EDG includes classes for each of these different types of data assets. Data Asset is the main entity for the Data Assets asset collections. There can be multiple collections of this type. Some Data Assets collections can be dataset catalogs, others could be holding information about logical models and so on.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\"><strong><em id=\"\">Big Data Asset<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 the parent class for things such as <em id=\"\">Big Data Data Assets<\/em>, <em id=\"\">Big Data Configuration Assets<\/em>, <em id=\"\">Big Data Jobs<\/em> and <em id=\"\">Big Data Files<\/em>. It is the main entity for the Big Data Assets asset collections. There can be multiple collections of this type.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\"><strong><em id=\"\">Lineage Model<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 establishes a context for determining how enterprise capabilities, business functions and information assets are dependent on data flows, applications, software executables and data transformations across data sources and sinks. It is the main entity for the Lineage Model asset collections. There can be multiple collections of this type.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">When you create a new asset collection such as Glossary or Data Asset collection, an ontology model for the type of collection is automatically included. You don\u2019t need to do anything. You can just start using EDG as-is. However, sometimes, you may want to modify the models or add to them.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">EDG models are open for extension and modification. You can look at the underlying models when you are in let\u2019s say a Glossary or a Data Asset collection, but will not be able to make modifications to them since graphs of this type contain business terms and data assets respectively \u2013 ontologies are simply included in them by reference.<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">To modify one of EDG ontologies:<\/p>\n<p id=\"\">1.

Their name always starts with \u201cEDG SCHEMA\u201d. \u00a0The rest of the name is self explanatory since it corresponds to the type of collection.
