FRAM Ontology: An OWL 2 Vocabulary for the Functional Resonance Analysis Method

An OWL 2 ontology for the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM), enabling formal representation of FRAM models as Linked Data. The ontology defines 54 classes and 123 properties (63 object + 60 datatype), 7 SHACL shapes, and a JSON-LD context, with a foundational alignment to gUFO (15 rdfs:subClassOf axioms). This artefact is a research product of the doctoral research of César Augusto Simões Goudouris at the Programa de Pós-Graduação em Informática (PPGI), Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Brazil, supervised by Prof. Paulo Victor Rodrigues de Carvalho, DSc (PPGI/UFRJ) and Prof. Alessandro Jatobá, DSc (CEE/Fiocruz). It underpins the FlowFRAM platform (https://flowfram.com) and the doctoral thesis "FlowFRAM: promoção do Pensamento Complexo por meio de uma ferramenta de modelagem FRAM baseada em programação orientada a fluxo" (in preparation; a version-of-record identifier will be added once deposited).
