﻿--------------------------
Release notes gist 9.0.0
--------------------------
General
1.	http  https
2.	added comments to ontologies
3.	added labels and comments to many properties and classes
4.	SocialBeing has been removed.  
5.	The property gist:party has been renamed to gist:hasParty

Agreement
SocialBeing has been removed 
A few restrictions that used SocialBeing as a filter class now use the expression (Person or Organization)
Added Contract
The property gist:party was renamed to gist:hasParty

Category
New property: hasTag.
A gist:Category now uses gist:hasTag instead of gist:containedText 
The definition of Taxonomy was corrected. It used to be a controlled vocabuarly that had a super category or a navigational parent. But it is not the taxonomy that is part of a hierarchy, it is the elements of the taxonomy that are part of the hierarchy.  The definition for gist taxonomy now says it is a controlled vocabulary and has a member that has either  a sub category or super category.  The notion of navigational parent is no longer included in the definition.
The object property gist:hasPreferredTerm that pointed to  a gist:Text property was removed. Use the annotation, skos:preferedLabel, instead.



Event
Renamed occurredAt to occursAt
Changed restriction on gist:Event to be (occursAt gist:Place) rather than (occuredAt gist:GeoRegion)
Renamed TemplateTask to TaskTemplate because it is a template related to tasks, not a task related to templates. 
Moved:
•	gist;characterizedAs from gistEvent to gistTop
Removed:
•	TimeInterval

A number of restrictions with filter class (TimeInstant or TimeInterval) changed to be just TimeInstant.

Intention
A ServiceSpecifictation no longer produced a behavior. Rather, it is the basis for an Event (replaced a restriction)
New property: basisFor, inverse of basedOn which is defined in gistTop

IoT
Entirely new ontology



Measure
Slight clarification of the meaning of OrdinalCollection.  Mathematically, it is more than just a total order, it is a strict total order.
directlyPrecedes      replaces strictlyPrecedes
directlyPrecededBy replaces strictlyPrecededBy
PhysicalThing removed, was  a vestige from the past.


Network
Entirely new ontology

Organization
New Class:  GeoPoliticalRegion. A collection of gist:GeoRegions administered by a GovernmentOrganization

Place
The range of the property geoOccupies changed to gist:Place. It had been the union of GeoRegion and GeoVolume.

TemporalRelation
TemporalRelation no longer a subclass of TimeInterval (which has been removed)

Time
Just a few new labels and comments.

Top
References to TimeInterval removed.
Event is no longer a subclass of TimeInterval. Instead, it has a start and end time.
gist:Content is no longer disjoint with Intention.
gist:Magnitude is no longer gist:of something.   We used to think of magnitude of say 180pounds as necessarily being a value associated with something, e.g. a person.  gist:of was the inverse of gist:hasA which no longer exists.
Unit
RatioUnit used to have exactly 1 UnitOfMeasure as a numerator, now it can have more than one.

Deprecated
Added to the list of deprecated things:
1.	Renamed
a.	gist:TemplateTask (renamed to TaskTemplate)
b.	gist:party (use hasParty instead)
2.	Removed
a.	gist:SocialBeing  - use (Person or Organization) instead] 
b.	gist:of (a vestige of the past) 
c.	gist:sameOrderAs (was adding unnecessary mathematical precision)
d.	gist:TimeInterval (the idea of a time interval is captured by assigning it a start and end time, e.g. an event) 
e.	gist:dateTime

3.	Replaced by a variation
a.	gist:strictlyPrecededBy (using directlyPrecededBy instead)
b.	gist:strictlyPrecedes (using directlyPrecedes instead) 
--------------------------
Release notes gist 8.0.0
--------------------------

This major version primarily changed all concept URIs to use '/' instead of '#'.
Additionally, gistWiki is no longer included by gistCore.

------------------------
Release notes gist 7.5
------------------------

This version focused on making the import structure simpler and flatter, in order to make it easier for people to use subsets of gist if they want to.  Because all of gist is in one name space this was relatively easy to do and will have very little impact on anyone who is using gist 7.* (see the change log there were a few changes that you may want to review)

------------------------
Release notes gist 7.4
------------------------

Gist 7.4 was an internal release.

------------------------
Release notes gist 7.3
------------------------

An additional supplementary ontology was added for Units of Measure (gistUnitDim7.3.owl) which introduces the concept of a Coherent Unit.
This allows for conversions between units of the same dimension to be done using just SPARQL, as opposed to relying on rules.

There are new and/or improved annotations (definitions, notes, examples, negative examples, etc.) on all Classes. 

The Category ontology added properties for true sub/super type relationship, including having a unique superType (parent).

Other minor changes: 
 - removal of redundant imports and redundant classes already defined in another ontology 
 - relaxed the domain on gist:start and gist:end
 - expanded the range of gist:fromAgent and gist:toAgent
 - added to the Units of Measure ontology and corrected an erronoeously named class

See ChangeLog in pdf file for full details of changes.

------------------------
Release notes gist 7.2
------------------------
gist 7.2 was released to add wiki and rdfshape capability

We also removed some redundant assertions, and moved some comments to the ontology where the concept was first introduced.

we removed currencyValue in favor of decimalValue

upgrades domains on some date problems and hasCommunicationAddress

Deprecated a lot of the measurement stuff that wasn't being used (as far as we know)

------------------------
Release notes gist 7.1.1
------------------------
gist 7.1.1 was released to fix an erroneous disjoint statement on the class gist:Magnitude. 

If you previously downloaded gist 7.1 you may have experienced an inference error if you attempted to run inference using Hermit. 
The gist 7.1.1 release has eliminated the cause of this error. 

In addition to using the OWL files locally, you can import these files via URL directly into your ontology editor of choice(Protegé, Topbraid, etc.) 
The import will take care of the dependencies.

Release notes gist 7.1
----------------------

gist 7.1 is a release that primarily fixes minor errors like typos in our gist 7.0 release. 

Below is a brief summary of the changes that have semantic import from an inference perspective (axiom added, removed, changed, etc.)
or that are backward incompatible.

* Made gist:uniqueText a sub-property of gist:containedText
* Added gist:Agreement to range of gist:governs
* Changed gist:prevent, gist:allow and gist:require to gist:prevents, gist:allows, and gist:requires
* Changed restriction on gist:Offer to use gist:hasDirectPart some gist:CatalogItem
* Removed property gist:specifiedIn, no longer needed
* Changed property restriction on gist:Account from gist:hasA some gist:Balance to gist:hasMagnitude some gist:Balance
* Bugfix, inverse property of gist:hasDirectSubtask changed to gist:directSubtaskOf
* Added gist:IntellectualProperty and gist:PhysicalThing to the range of gist:governs
* In the definition of gist:Requirement, removed gist:Conformance from the range of gist:requires

Release Notes gist 7.0
----------------------

gist 7.0 is a major upgrade from our last released version (6.7.1). The main differences are:

* gist 7.0 is extremely modular. There are 18 modules that can be used collectively or in subsets if you don't need all the concepts in gist.
* gist 7.0 is more elegant than its predecessors. We have reduced the number of top level concepts that everything else derives from to 12. 
  And these 12 concepts are not philosophical abstractions like endurants and perdurants, or qualia, there are normal terms whose definitions 
  are quite close to what you already believe.
* gist 7.0 has more extensive and more-fine grained disjointness at the highest level. It turns out that in order for an upper ontology to 
  help you avoid making logical errors in your derived enterprise or application ontology, it needs to make use of disjointness. Without 
  disjointness, the reasoner does not find logic errors.

For documentation and OWL files regarding terms that were deprecated when moving from version 6.7.1 to 7.0, please see the sub-folder called
"Depricated terms from gist6.7.1" 

In addition to using the OWL files locally, you can import these files via URL directly into your ontology editor of choice(Protegé, Topbraid, etc.) 
The import will take care of the dependencies.
