Vendor¶

This is a long line of text:

:Vendor
    rdf:type owl:Class ;
    owl:hasKey (vendor:vendorId) .

This is a long line of text:

vendor:vendorId
    rdf:type owl:DatatypeProperty , owl:FunctionalProperty ;
    rdfs:domain :Vendor ;
    rdfs:range xsd:nonNegativeInteger .

There is one named individual in the ontology, ASHRAE, the organization that is responsible for the standard, and holds the vendor identifier zero:

vendor:ASHRAE
    rdf:type :Vendor , owl:NamedIndividual ;
    vendor:vendorId 0 .

I have a script that scrapes the BACnet web site HTML table and can define all of the vendors with their identifiers, should that be included in the ontology?
