Summary
Add first-class support for ENERO Foundry ontologies in Semantic-SQL so they can be built and downloaded the same way we handle other non-OBO ontologies.
The ENERO Foundry is positioning itself as a coordination layer for interoperable energy-domain ontologies, with early ontologies including OEO, CEPO, MENO, MUNO, OTO, and CHIO. Semantic-SQL already has a partial oeo entry in src/semsql/builder/registry/ontologies.yaml, but the broader ENERO set is not yet modeled here in a consistent way.
Why
- Energy ontologies are increasingly relevant for FAIR research data workflows.
- ENERO is explicitly trying to make these ontologies interoperable, which aligns well with SemSQL's SQL view layer over OWL/RDF.
- The repo already supports a curated registry of non-OBO ontologies, so ENERO onboarding fits the existing architecture.
Proposed scope
- Audit candidate ENERO ontologies for stable release URLs, serialization, imports, and licensing.
- Decide which ontologies should be added to
src/semsql/builder/registry/ontologies.yaml.
- Add registry entries,
prefixmaps, and any necessary build_command overrides.
- Validate that each selected ontology can be turned into a working SemSQL SQLite build.
- Add focused tests or documented smoke-test commands for the new entries.
- Update user-facing docs so the new ontology IDs are discoverable.
Candidate ontologies
oeo (already present, likely needs validation/refresh)
cepo
meno
muno
oto
chio
Open questions
- Which ENERO ontologies publish stable machine-readable release artifacts today?
- Do any require non-default preprocessing before
rdftab / relation-graph?
- Should we stage this as
oeo hardening first, then add the rest incrementally?
- Are there any energy-adjacent artifacts we should explicitly exclude because they are not OWL reference ontologies in the SemSQL sense?
Acceptance criteria
- At least one additional ENERO ontology beyond
oeo is integrated end-to-end in the registry.
- The
oeo entry is verified or corrected against the current upstream release layout.
- New entries are documented and reproducible from a clean checkout.
