Abstract

The Virtual Record Treasury of Ireland (VRTI) ontology defines a structured framework for describing historical and civil entities, particularly related to ecclesiastical and civil administration in different time periods. The ontology imports concepts from external vocabularies like the Erlangen CRM and SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) to enrich its definitions. The ontology contains various properties and classes that represent relationships and roles within a hierarchical or organizational structure. Object properties such as :composed_of, :counsellee, :counselor, :splits, and :represented_by express relationships between individuals, such as marriage, hierarchy, or spatial-temporal divisions. Annotation properties like skos:broader and skos:exactMatch are used for categorization and cross-referencing concepts. Named individuals such as :Accountability, :Archdeaconry, and :BenedictineMonks represent specific historical or administrative entities. Each individual is associated with comments providing definitions or historical context, often sourced from academic references. Overall, this ontology serves as a comprehensive resource for documenting the structure of medieval administrative, religious, and territorial divisions, with a focus on their relationships and hierarchical organization. This ontology is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) License. Visit the Virtual Treasury website: https://virtualtreasury.ie for more information.

Introduction back to ToC

Civil Administration is an organization or bureaucratic apparatus responsible for running the day-to-day affairs of 'civil' (i.e., secular or temporal) government, as opposed to 'ecclesiastical administration' which is responsible for the affairs of the institutional Church. Civil Administration is typically divided into distinct branches of administration, the most important distinction being between Central and Local administration. Different administrative functions are performed by separate departments within the Civil Administration, for instance financial, secretarial and judicial departments, each of which develops its own internal hierarchies. The Civil Administration is ultimately responsible to the highest secular authority, for instance the king or Prime Minister.

Shireni back to ToC or Named Individual ToC

IRI: https://www.w3id.org/virtual-treasury/ontology#Shire

Originally a sphere of jurisdiction or command; thus the area of which such authority was exercised. The earliest shires were commanded by ealdormen; by the late tenth century, when the ealdorman's powers were more extensive, they were administered by sheriffs. By the same period, the shires were divided into hundreds. From the twelfth century, they were also called 'counties'.
