Ontology for Source Change Detection (OSCD)

The Ontology for Source Change Detection (OSCD) is used to capture information which relates the changes that have occured within a source data of an RDF dataset. The ontology allows a notification policy to be defined which will notify users when a defined threshold of changes has been reached. Once notified the mapping and source data should be re-examined to ensure no further action is required to prevent a decrease in quality.
