Each part of OntoGSN has its own version number: the ontology, the SHACL shapes, the augmentation, the alignment and the design record. The changelog has the full entry for each release. This page lists the releases, newest first.

Date Part Version Breaking Summary
2026-11-11 Design record 1.3.1 no The vocabulary declares gsndesign:rationaleText, which the record states on every rationale.
2026-11-10 Augmentation 0.5.1 no, no term changes A part of an artefact is an artefact. One failing artefact of a solution outweighs a conforming one.
2026-11-06 Augmentation 0.5.0 no, no term changes The goal that an issue becomes gets a statement and a context. A solution can name the parts of an artefact that it relies on.
2026-11-05 SHACL shapes 1.1.1 no Four checks report at the severity that they declare, not as violations.
2026-11-05 Augmentation 0.4.0 yes, two properties are renamed A mechanism checks an artefact.
2026-11-05 Ontology 1.3.0 yes, for reasoners Protégé reads the SWRL rules again. The rules find support cycles of any length. Top goals are scoped to their module. Twenty-four terms gain a definition.
2026-11-05 Augmentation 0.3.2 first release Released together with ontology 1.3.0.
2026-10-16 Design record 1.3.0 yes, for importers The record moved to development/design/, and its namespace to https://w3id.org/OntoGSN/design.
2026-08-15 Ontology 1.2.3 no The domains of the decorators, for example gsn:valid, include each class that a rule writes them onto.
2026-08-05 Ontology 1.2.2 yes, for reasoners gsn:Defeater is a subclass of goal or solution, not equal to it. The prefix ontology: becomes gsn:. SHACL shapes 1.0.0 follow on 2026-08-06.
