| Name: | Born Digital Archives |
| Submitted by: | MarinaRiga, PanagiotisMitzias, EfstratiosKontopoulos |
| Also Known As: | |
| Intent: | The pattern intends to model the domain of born digital archives. This pattern has been developed by MKLab at CERTH/ITI for the PERICLES FP7 project. |
| Domains: | Archives |
| Competency Questions: | What are the main entities (units) that compose born digital archives? These are:
|
| Solution description: | The pattern's main entity is a unit, subclassed by fonds, series, files and items. |
| Reusable OWL Building Block: | [http://mklab.iti.gr/pericles/BornDigitalArchives_ODP.owl](http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:ClickHandler&link=http://mklab.iti.gr/pericles/BornDigitalArchives_ODP.owl&message=OWL building block&from_page_id=4341&update=) (545) |
| Consequences: | The design pattern is expected to facilitate the creation of domain ontologies related to Born Digital Archives that can be exploited in numerous fields. A well-established, comprehensible pattern will prove to be advantageous. |

Elements
The Born Digital Archives Content OP locally defines the following ontology elements:
hasCreator (owl:ObjectProperty) Indicates the creator of a unit.
hasCreator page
hasPart (owl:ObjectProperty) Indicates that a unit includes another unit.
hasPart page
Creator (owl:Class) The creator of a born digital archive unit
Creator page
File (owl:Class) An organized unit of documents grouped together either for current use by the creator or in the process of archival arrangement, because they relate to the same subject, activity, or transaction. A file is usually the basic unit within a record series.
File page
Fonds (owl:Class) Fonds: The whole of the records, regardless of form or medium, organically created and/or accumulated and used by a particular person, family, or corporate body in the course of that creator's activities and functions.
Sub-fonds: A subdivision of a fonds containing a body of related records corresponding to administrative subdivisions in the originating agency or organization or, when that is not possible, to geographical, chronological, functional, or similar groupings of the material itself. When the creating body has a complex hierarchical structure, each sub-fonds has as many subordinate sub-fonds as are necessary to reflect the levels of the hierarchical structure of the primary subordinate administrative unit.
Fonds page
Item (owl:Class) The smallest intellectually indivisible archival unit, e.g., a letter, memorandum, report, photograph, sound recording.
Item page
Series (owl:Class) Documents arranged in accordance with a filing system or maintained as a unit because they result from the same accumulation or filing process, or the same activity; have a particular form; or because of some other relationship arising out of their creation, receipt, or use. A series is also known as a records series.
Series page
Unit (owl:Class) An entity that participates in the assembly of a born digital archive.
