The ci: ontology

ci:Diocese

Diocese

A territorial circumscription of the Latin or an Eastern Catholic Church: diocese, archdiocese, eparchy, apostolic vicariate, ordinariate or equivalent. The specific grade is carried by ci:ecclesiasticalRank rather than by subclassing, because the Annuario's grades are a controlled list that changes without the class hierarchy changing.

Subclass of

schema:Church

ci:Parish

Parish

A parish or other church with a stable community, identified within its diocese. Honorific standing (cathedral, basilica, shrine) is carried by boolean properties, not by subclasses, because a church can hold more than one at once.

Subclass of

schema:Church

ci:Person

Person

A person the graph identifies. Minted once per person, not once per office: an ordinary who has governed three sees is one node with three ci:hasSee edges.

Subclass of

schema:Person

ci:Bishop

Bishop

A person who holds or has held an episcopal see. Asserted alongside schema:Person so that general validators still see a Person.

Subclass of

ci:Person

ci:ReligiousInstitute

Religious institute

An institute of consecrated life or society of apostolic life: order, congregation, federation or province. ci:orderType carries the canonical form.

Subclass of

schema:Organization

ci:EpiscopalConference

Episcopal conference

A conference of bishops for a territory.

Subclass of

schema:Organization

Note. Emitted as a typed mention with a name and no @id. /id/conference/<slug> does not exist yet, so these are deliberately unlinked rather than pointed at a 404.

ci:HolySee

Holy See

The Apostolic See and the dicasteries of the Roman Curia acting in its name.

Subclass of

schema:Organization

Note. Emitted as a typed mention with a name and no @id. /id/holy-see does not exist yet; 139 stories are keyed to it and waiting.

ci:NewsStory

News story

A synthesized wire record: one event, assembled from one or more source items, written from the source packets alone. It is not an article we published in the ordinary sense and it never carries a byline.

Subclass of

schema:NewsArticle

ci:NewsSource

News source

An outlet the wire reads. ci:sourceRole and ci:publisherClass record what kind of authority it carries, which is what decides ranking, not editorial preference.

Subclass of

schema:NewsMediaOrganization

ci:WebResource

Web resource

A web resource attributed to an entity, carrying how the attribution was verified. A URL found on a page and a URL confirmed by crawling the site are different claims and this class keeps them different.

ci:Identifier

External identifier

An identifier for an entity in an external authority (Wikidata, GCatholic, an Annuario code). A scheme and a value, deliberately not an owl:sameAs: holding someone's identifier is not the same as asserting the two nodes are the same thing.

ci:Pontificate

Pontificate

One reign of one person over the See of Rome. A reign, not a person: Benedict IX held three, separately numbered 145, 147 and 150, and collapsing them into the man would lose the numbering the sources actually use.

Note. 267 numbered pontificates run from Peter to Leo XIV. Two further reigns carry no number and say why in ci:contested: Pope-elect Stephen, who died before consecration and was struck from the official list in 1961, and Benedict X, reckoned an antipope though his number was never reused.

ci:Provenance

Provenance

How an assertion was arrived at: source, confidence, ontology version at the time, and when it was enriched. Attached to the node it explains rather than to the graph, so it survives extraction of a single record.

ci:Pericope

Pericope

A passage of scripture identified by its OSIS reference. The IRI key is the lowercased OSIS ref, so two systems holding the same citation compute the same identifier without coordinating. Deliberately not a namespace of our own: a reference scheme is worth something only if other tooling already speaks it.

Subclass of

schema:CreativeWork

Note. Carries no scripture text. Lectionary text is the New American Bible under Confraternity of Christian Doctrine copyright; a citation is a pointer and is ours to publish, the passage is not.

ci:DevotionalStation

Devotional station

One station of the Way of the Cross. Not a ci:LectionaryEntry: no book numbers the stations among the readings, and four of the fourteen traditional stations carry no scripture passage at all. Indexed alongside the Lectionary because a passage read at a funeral and prayed at a station is one passage, and only a shared pericope node can say so.

Note. The four non-scriptural stations carry ci:isScriptural false and no reference, rather than being stretched onto a passage that does not contain them.

ci:LectionaryEntry

Lectionary entry

One numbered option in a liturgical book: Lectionary no. 1016 option 1. Kept distinct from ci:Pericope because the same passage is proposed at several numbers across the books, and collapsing them would lose either the passage identity or the number a parish actually looks up.

Note. The key is the book's own numbering, not minted here.

ci:pericope

pericope

The passage this book entry proposes. Both ends are IRI-valued, which is why the inverse is declared here and not on the string-valued relations elsewhere in this vocabulary.

ci:lectionaryEntry

Range

ci:LectionaryEntry

Inverse of

ci:pericope

ci:devotionalUse

devotional use

A devotion in which this passage is prayed. The edge that makes the registry more than two lists side by side: the funeral gospel Luke 23:44-46, 50, 52-53 contains the twelfth and thirteenth stations, and this is where a reader finds that out.

Domain

ci:Pericope

Range

ci:DevotionalStation

Note. Deliberately not declared owl:inverseOf ci:pericope. That inverse already belongs to ci:lectionaryEntry, and a property cannot have two.

ci:overlapsPassage

overlaps passage

Another passage in the registry sharing at least one verse. Computed by interval arithmetic over (chapter, verse) tuples, which is exact and needs no versification table: the alternative, counting verses per chapter, differs between editions and would make the answer depend on a Bible we have not chosen.

Domain

ci:Pericope

Range

ci:Pericope

Note. Symmetric in the data but not declared owl:SymmetricProperty, because ci:passageRelation distinguishes the directions (contains vs within) and a symmetric declaration would license a reasoner to swap them.

ci:passageRelation

passage relation

How two overlapping passages sit: contains, within, or overlaps where neither encloses the other. The twelfth station is WITHIN the funeral gospel; saying only that they overlap would lose which is the larger reading.

Range

xsd:string

ci:stationTradition

station tradition

xsd:string

ci:isScriptural

xsd:boolean

ci:osisRef

OSIS reference

The passage as an OSIS reference (Matt.5.1-Matt.5.12). Verse-part letters in the printed citation are dropped, which widens the span by at most a clause and keeps references joinable across sources that letter them differently.

Domain

ci:LectionaryEntry

Range

xsd:string

ci:lectionaryEdition

lectionary edition

Which printed edition this entry came out of. Not decoration: the Order of Celebrating Matrimony (2016) expanded the 2002 marriage set, so 39 and 47 are both correct counts of the wedding readings and a consumer joining one book's numbers against the other's would silently mismatch. Recording the edition is the only thing that keeps that straight.

Domain

ci:LectionaryEntry

Range

xsd:string

Note. The funeral set is stable across the editions held here; the marriage set is not, and only the 2002 table is transcribed.

ci:lectionaryCollection

lectionary collection

Which body of readings the entry belongs to: funeral or marriage. Deliberately NOT ci:rite, which in this vocabulary means the ritual Church a see belongs to (Latin, Syro-Malabar, Byzantine). The two words collide in English and mean nothing like each other; naming this one ci:rite would have let a consumer read "funeral" as a ritual Church.

Domain

ci:LectionaryEntry

Range

xsd:string

Note. Kept beside ci:liturgicalContext, which distinguishes whose funeral it is. Merging them offers a bereaved parent a wedding reading.

ci:liturgicalContext
