1.  Introduction

   This document defines an ontology that describes the specifications
   published by the RFC Editor, together with ancillary documents like
   errata and RFC series.

   This effort is the continuation of the RFC-Prolog [RFC-Prolog]
   database that was described in one of the position papers presented
   at the IAB Workshop on Analyzing IETF Data (AID) [RFC9307].  The
   schema in that database was simplified and reformulated as an
   ontology.

   Note that for the time being, the file containing the ontology is
   available in the git repository described in Appendix A.2.

2.  The RFC Ontology

   The RFC Ontology extends the Bibliographic Ontology [BIBO] and reuse
   elements from the Friend of a friend [FOAF] and DCMI Metadata Terms
   [DCTERMS] ontologies.

Appendix A.  Implementation

   An implementation of the RFC ontology using the programming language
   Flora-2 [Flora-2] is provided.

   The "rfcs.flr" file contains the list of all RFCs, BCPs, STDs, and
   FYIs.

   The following example shows an RFC metadata encoded in Flora-2:

   \"https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9306":rfc#Rfc
     [ rfc#number -> 9306
     , terms#title ->
   'Vendor-Specific LISP Canonical Address Format (LCAF)'
     , terms#creator -> {\#1, \#2, \#3, \#4, \#5}
     , bibo#authorList -> [\#1, \#2, \#3, \#4, \#5]
     , terms#date -> '2022-10'
     , terms#format ->
   {'text/html', 'text/plain', 'application/pdf', 'text/xml'}
     , rfc#keyword -> {'lisp', 'lcaf', 'internal', 'domain',
   'organization', 'private'}

   Comments on some non-obvious encoding:

Petit-Huguenin            Expires 22 June 2023                 [Page 29]
Internet-Draft            An Ontology for RFCs             December 2022

   *  "terms#creator" contains the set of authors.  This uses a Skolem
      symbol to represents the fact that we do not have a resource for
      the person, but we want to define it only once (equivalent to a
      blank node).  The mathematically inclined can think of this as an
      existential quantifier ("there exists a person named...").

   *  "terms#editor", not present in this example, would contain the set
      of editors.

   *  "bibo#authorList" contains the ordered list of all authors and
      editors.

   *  "rfc#normativelyReferences" or "rfc#informativeReferences" are
      difficult to parse in RFCs that were not published in xml2rfc
      format, so this is currently work in progress.

   The following example shows a BCP encoded in Flora-2:

   \"https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/bcp0003":rfc#Bcp
     [ rfc#number -> 3
     , bibo#hasPart ->
       { \"https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc1915"
       }
     ].

   STD and FYI are encoded similarly, substituting respectively
   "rfc#Std" and "rfc#Fyi" to "rfc#Bcp".

   The "errata.flr" file contains the list of all Errata.

   The following example shows an Errata encoded in Flora-2:

   \"https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5866":rfc#Errata
     [ rfc#id -> 5866
     , rfc#corrects -> \"https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc0005"
     , rfc#type -> rfc#editorial
     , rfc#status -> rfc#verified
     , rfc#reportedBy -> \#:foaf#Person[foaf#name -> 'Martin Thomson']
     , rfc#reportedOn -> "2019-09-26"^^\date
     , rfc#processedBy -> \#:foaf#Person[foaf#name -> 'Benjamin Kaduk']
     , rfc#processedOn -> "2019-09-26"^^\date
     ].

A.1.  Examples of Queries

   The examples that follow can be executed in the Flora-2 REPL
   ("runflora" or "runflora.bat").

Petit-Huguenin            Expires 22 June 2023                 [Page 30]
Internet-Draft            An Ontology for RFCs             December 2022

   The files must be loaded after starting the REPL:

   [schema,+rfcs,+errata].

   Note that loading the files should take a minute the first time, but
   around one second after that.  Queries should not take more than a
   few hundred milliseconds to run.

   Listing all the April Fools's Day RFCS:

   ?:rfc#Rfc[rfc#number -> ?rfc, terms#date -> ?_d],
     ?_d[endsWith('-04-01')]@\btp.

   Listing all the RFCs that cites RFC 5234, normatively or
   informatively:

   ?_abnf:rfc#Rfc[rfc#number -> 5234], ?:rfc#Rfc[bibo#cites -> ?_abnf,
     rfc#number -> ?rfc, terms#title -> ?rfc].

   More examples will be provided in future versions of this draft.
   Suggestions are welcome.

A.2.  Distribution

   The files are distributed as a git repository that can be cloned with
   the following command:

   git clone git://shalmaneser.org/VejlapAknul1 rfc-ontology-flora2

   This git repository is mirrored in various locations over the world,
   with the GPS coordinates in decimal degrees of all these locations
   stored in the DNS as a TXT resource record.  The "dig +dnssec txt
   shalmaneser.org" command can be used to find these locations and
   substitute the closest subdomain in the git URL above.

   The git repository is updated most Mondays before 23:59:59 UTC with a
   new commit that covers new RFCs, Errata, or changes in status.  The
   date of the next planned update is added of the comment of each
   commit.

   The "update" script that is used to update the files is distributed
   in the git repository, so they these files can be updated in case the
   current maintainer is unable to do so.  The list of tools to install
   prior to running the script is in that script.

   The code in that repository is licensed under an AGPL3+ license.
