Ontology Management Base

This repository is the working home for the ENVITED-X and Gaia-X4PLC-AAD ontology stack. It contains the OWL ontologies, SHACL shapes, JSON-LD contexts, validation tools, and publishing utilities used across the ecosystem.

Important Notice

After release v0.1.0, this repository will be archived as read-only. Ongoing maintenance will continue at ASCS-eV/ontology-management-base. Plan new contributions against that repository after the release cut.
