Universal Open Game Theory Ontology (UOGTO)

Overview

UOGTO (Universal Open Game Theory Ontology) is a modular, version-controlled repository defining game-theoretic semantics, including classical, cooperative, multi-agent, simulation execution, mechanism design, and executable knowledge graph semantics.

Repository Layout

• ontologies/: Main OWL/TTL schema definitions.
• shapes/: SHACL constraint validation graphs.
• jsonld/: JSON-LD context documents.
• examples/: Domain usage examples.
• competency-questions/: SPARQL verification queries.
• scripts/: Tooling for build, validation, and coverage.
• docs/: Guides, mappings, and references.

Quickstart

1. Install dependencies:

   pip install -e .

2. Build merged files:

   make build

3. Run validation and tests:

   make all
