+# CIF Ontology
+
[](https://github.com/emmo-repo/CIF-ontology/actions/)
[](https://zenodo.org/badge/latestdoi/272473769)
+This repository provides an ontologisation of the CIF Dictionary Definition Language ([DDLm](https://www.iucr.org/resources/cif/ddl/ddlm)) and the [CIF core dictionary](https://www.iucr.org/resources/cif/dictionaries/cif_core) by IUCr.
+The development version of these dictionaries can be found in the [COMCIFS/cif_core](https://github.com/COMCIFS/cif_core) GitHub repository.
-# CIF ontology
-
-A crystallography domain ontology based on [EMMO][1] and the [CIF core][2] dictionary.
-It is implemented as a formal language.
-
-## Status
-
-- [ ] Proposal
-- [X] Accepted, under development
-- [ ] Official
-
-This ontology is work-in-progress (WIP).
-It is part of the overall process of developing a domain ontology for crystallography.
-
-## Imported Ontologies
-
-This ontology builds on top of EMMO.
-See the following table for version compatibilies:
-
-| Imported Ontologies | Version |
-| ------------------- | ----------------- |
-| emmo-inferred | 1.0.0-beta |
-
-## Generator tool (`dic2owl`)
+The CIF Ontology has no dependencies to any upper ontology.
+But the EMMC crystallography task group is providing an EMMO-based [Crystallography Domain Ontology](https://github.com/emmo-repo/domain-crystallography), which is based on both the CIF Ontology and [EMMO](https://github.com/emmo-repo/EMMO).
-This repository contains both ontologies (under [`/ontology`](ontology)) and the `dic2owl` generator tool (under [`/dic2owl`](dic2owl)), written in Python.
+## Obtaining CIF-ontology
-Go to the [README](dic2owl/README.md) of `dic2owl` to read more about the generator tool.
+A table with available releases can be found in [the documentation](https://emmo-repo.github.io/CIF-ontology/).
-## Obtaining CIF-ontology
+### Manually generating the cif core ontology
-This ontology build on EMMO-1.0.0-beta.
-The correct path to the inferred verion 'emmo-inferred' is specified in the catalog file, [`catalog-v001.xml`](ontology/catalog-v001.xml).
+It is also possible to clone this repository and generate the CIF ontology.
-The domain ontology is obtained with:
+First clone this repository with
```console
git clone https://github.com/emmo-repo/CIF-ontology.git
```
-When opening [cif.ttl](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emmo-repo/CIF-ontology/main/ontology/cif.ttl) in Protégé, the correct version of emmo-inferred will be downloaded and imported.
-
-In EMMO-python correct import is obtained with
-
-```python
-from emmo import get_ontology
-
-# Loading crystallography from local repository
-cif_onto = get_ontology('/path/to/cif.ttl').load(url_from_catalog=True)
-
-# Loading crystallography from web
-cif_onto = get_ontology('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emmo-repo/CIF-ontology/main/ontology/cif.ttl').load()
-```
+and then run the `dic2owl` tool following the instructions in the [dic2owl/README.md](dic2owl/README.md) file.
