Ontology for the description of customizable products. It models the configuration process as the traversal of a graph of partially defined products, or "Configurations".
Ranges of customizable products are described rather effectively, for human users, by means of dedicated web applications called configurators. A configurator helps a user interactively define a product step by step, each step typically describing a valid partially defined product (or "Configuration"), with a start price and a list of remaining choices given all previous selections. Each of these choices links to another configuration until completion. Thus, the configuration process traverses a graph whose nodes are configurations. Now identify each configuration with a URI returning the list of the configurations it is linked to, among other relevant information: what you have is a description of the range as Linked Data.
The main classes of this ontology are Configuration (a state of the configuration process), Specification (a possible value of a characteristic of the configured product) and ConfigurationLink (which models a change of the state of the configuration process)., Ontology for the description of customizable products.
