Description

This ontology is an OWL interpretation of elements of the National Archives of Australia (NAA)'s Records Authorty documents and some of their corresponding NAA database elements. It is dependent on the CRS Ontology for overall context regarding Agency/Record associations and just models the additional RA elements the CRS ontology doesn't.
