This repository provides an ontologisation of the CIF Dictionary Definition Language (DDLm) and the CIF core dictionary by IUCr. The development version of these dictionaries can be found in the COMCIFS/cif_core GitHub repository.
The CIF Ontology has no dependencies to any upper ontology. But the EMMC crystallography task group is providing an EMMO-based Crystallography Domain Ontology, which is based on both the CIF Ontology and EMMO.
A table with available releases can be found in the documentation.
It is also possible to clone this repository and generate the CIF ontology.
First clone this repository with
git clone https://github.com/emmo-repo/CIF-ontology.gitand then run the dic2owl tool following the instructions in the dic2owl/README.md file.
