scope-ontology

Multi-Agent System (MAS) Execution Ontology — RDF/OWL vocabulary and Python helpers for describing, validating, and querying multi-agent system telemetry as a knowledge graph.

Part of SCOPE.

What's included

Five Turtle ontologies under a single mas: namespace:

Plus SHACL shapes (mas-shapes.ttl, mas-shapes-custom.ttl) for validating knowledge-graph instances against the ontology.

Install

pip install ioc-scope-ontology

Usage

Import the ontology in your own RDF

@prefix mas: <https://ioc-project.github.io/scope-ontology/mas#> .
@prefix ex: <http://example.org/myproject#> .

ex:myAgent a mas:Agent ;
    mas:executes ex:myTask .

ex:myMAS a mas:MAS ;
    mas:hasAgent ex:myAgent .

Access bundled files and load graphs

from scope_ontology import get_ontology_path, load_graph

# Valid names: mas, semantic, metrics, analysis, insight,
# mas-shapes, mas-shapes-custom
mas_path = get_ontology_path("mas")

g = load_graph("mas")

Validate and verify

from scope_ontology import validate_bundled_ontologies, verify_kg_object

# Structural validation of the bundled TTL files
report = validate_bundled_ontologies()

# SHACL-based verification of a KG object against mas-shapes(-custom).ttl
verify_kg_object(my_kg_dict)

Query with SPARQL

PREFIX mas: <https://ioc-project.github.io/scope-ontology/mas#>

SELECT ?agent ?task WHERE {
    ?agent a mas:Agent ;
           mas:executes ?task .
}
