Provenance

This model has been created in response to the needs of several projects that required both specailised component and integrative modelling. The projects were: Geoscience Australia’s Sites, Samples Surveys modelling and Linked Data systems upgrade in 2022, FSDF operationalisation 2022, Queensland Spatial Information Addressing & Cadastral modelling 2022 and the Indigenous Data Network catalogue modelling, 2021-2023.

Introduction

This model is a Semantic Web model of how to create independent models - here called Component Models and an integrative model - a Backbone Model - for particular scenarios such that independent and potentially complex but related concerns can be modelled and yet still related to one another.

This model indicates several ways in which the content of Component Models can be related to one another either through a Backbone Model or via other means such as common categorisation. It uses a series of fundamental models to set a modelling baseline on top of which the Component Models and the Backbone Model are implemented.

Note	All of the modelling here is Semantic Web modelling but that doesn’t mean that implementations of Supermodels must be implemented in Semantic-Web-native systems: several Supermodel implementations indicate other forms of implementation, such as relational databases.
