Ontology Catalog Import Skill

Goal

Turn a source .rdf / .owl file into a valid catalogue entry under:

  • catalogue/external/<source>/<slug>/ or
  • catalogue/community/<author>/<slug>/

Read First

  • docs/authoring-guide.md
  • scripts/compile-catalogue.ts (validation expectations)
  • Existing examples:
  • catalogue/external/schema-org/
  • catalogue/external/pizza-ontology/

Intake Questions

Ask user:

  • Is this entry external or community?
  • Desired slug and source folder?
  • Desired category?
  • Author display name?
  • Should this be tutorialized into Ontology School too?

Required Outputs

  • <slug>.rdf copied/adapted into target folder
  • metadata.json with required fields
  • Valid category value for catalogue compiler

Person Names

If import cleanup, metadata examples, sample instances, generated RDF/OWL, docs,

or optional Ontology School content need person names, first use the

name-generator skill. Do not invent customer, employee, patient, student,

instructor, reviewer, or other human names.

All new person names must come from the FullName column in:

data/reference/FNF-2026-06-01-01002-0268.csv

Validate

Run:

  • npx tsx scripts/compile-catalogue.ts
  • npm run validate

Done Criteria

  • Entry appears in public/catalogue.json
  • No compile or validation errors
  • Metadata is complete and user-readable
  • Any new person names introduced during import came from the name-generator

skill / approved CSV fixture

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take microsoft/ontology-catalog-import from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
