The DDaT ontology is an ontological model of the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) profession.
Our DDaT ontology contains public sector information sourced from the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) profession capability framework which is maintained by the Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) and publicly-available under the Open Government License v3.0. This framework defines the DDaT disciplines (e.g. architecture), branches (e.g. technical architecture) and roles (e.g. Principal Technical Architect) found in government, and the skills (e.g. strategy) associated with them.
The initial goal of our DDaT ontological model is to enable a complementary means to visualise, search and explore the existing DDaT capability framework (rather than focusing on rigourous semantic structure). This includes an effective means to identify and visualise common skills and responsibilities shared between different roles across different disciplines. Over time, we hope to extend the ontology to include typical artefacts created by DDaT professionals (e.g. data catalogues, user personas etc.), and common digital services & systems (e.g. common data model, common data platform, website, API etc.). Our ultimate goal is to develop an ontology that defines and describes the full range of contemporary disciplines, roles, skills, artefacts, services and systems that make up the DDaT profession across all relevant global industries in both the private and public sector.
This public repository contains the following ontologies in OWL RDF/XML format.

A filtered version of our publicly-released DDaT ontology for effective visualisation purposes i.e. removal of links such as subclass relationships to the parent Skill class etc. that do not add meaningful value to the ontology visualisation. |
