Tim Berners Lee wrote a Workflow ontology, that could be useful for us. Bugs are tasks that are in certain states. Fixing bugs is transition their state to a terminal state. In order to get a quick overview of it I drew up a UML diagram:

Depends on a license related "doc" ontology http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/pim/doc also created by Tim Berners Lee: Workflow ontology uses doc:Work

The "doc" depends on a "contact" ontology http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/pim/contact still by TBL: "doc" ontology depends on contact:SocialEntity (which subsumes contact:Person).

Todo:

• explain N3 Work Flow rules
• draw diagrams of the other two ontologies?
• how does this compare to the Plans ontology (the rdf for that is broken btw)

Relation to Plans.owl

• state
• action
• task
