Description

This ontology is an OWL interpretation of the Commonwealth Record Series (CRS) system's data model that is maintained by the National Archives of Australia.

This ontology specialises classes and properties from the Organization Ontology and other well-known ontologies such as Dublin Core & PROV to describe CRS things in specific terms but also in relation to well-known generic terms.

It also refers to components in other Australian government ontologies, particularly AGRIF - Australian government Functions & Records
