Re: Versioning system for ontologies

Hi, we have fared well with using SVN for the COLORE repository 
(http://code.google.com/p/colore/), which is Common Logic based 
(practically first-order).  You can refer to specific (older) versions 
of an ontology by using the SVN revision number.
There are other repositories out there, http://oor.net/ contains a list 
of them. I assume all have some versioning mechanism.

I'm not aware of more tailored semantic solutions but would be 
interested to hear about such things.  There has been some work on 
so-called "semantic versioning" for more lightweight ontologies that 
take the altered consequences into account, but I'm not sure whether it 
resulting in ready-to-use implementations.

Regards,
Torsten
