AMMO Ontology of Finnish Historical Occupations
AMMO ontology provides a harmonized view of Finnish historical occupations from early 20th century. It is based on manually harmonizing 4564 distinct occupational labels from 3 different source datasets. The source datasets are WW1 War Victims, WW2 Death Records, and WW2 Prisoners of War. AMMO occupations are linked to international HISCO classification, providing social stratification information through HISCLASS and HISCAM, as well as to Finnish Classification of Occupations. AMMO is modeled using SKOS. The ontology structure is provided through the hierarchies of HISCO and Classification of Occupations.
AMMO can be queried with SPARQL from the endpoint https://ldf.fi/ammo/sparql, or accessed locally as Turtle files or a dockerized SPARQL endpoint via GitHub.
The AMMO ontology is created as a part of the projects WarCasualtySampo 1914-1922 and WarSampo.
