A metadata vocabulary for describing comic books and comic book collections.
The Comic Book Ontology is a metadata vocabulary for describing comic books and comic book collections. It is a work in progress and part of a larger research project exploring the organization and description of data about comic books.
The current version of the Ontology (v0.13.1), reflects the research, contents, and discussion found in the thesis project that produced it. Starting with the next, post-thesis version (v0.14), the Ontology will be open to suggestions, input, contributions, etc. New licensing options are being explored.
