Vessel Markup Language (VsML): A Vocabulary for Federated Ship Design
VsML is a vocabulary for describing vessel design parameters, spatial, functional, provenance, and logic. It is designed to federate across existing maritime ontologies including OCX Schema, SFI Index System, W3C Organization Ontology, and PROV-O, while also filling missing gaps in concepts and data relationships.
