Base Metrics comprise of simple metrics, like the counting of classes, axioms, objects etc. So it shows the quantity of ontology elements. For these Metrics we chose:

Axiom count

Axioms, regarding OntoMetrics, are relations between classes, it could descibe cardinality, value range or default-values of relations and attributes. It is also able to describe characteristics of relations like symmetry or transitivity.

Logical axiom count

These special kind of axioms are universally valid.

Class count

Classes in ontologies are concepts. These classes can contain other classes or individuals. In OWL there a generally a Thing-Class, which is a universal class. So every user defined class is a SubClass of the Thing-Class

With this metric we count the classes, including the thing-class, to create a view on the quantity of classes.

Total class count

Individual count

Individuals are the instances of the classes. This metric counts these instances, one class could have a set of instances.

Total Individual count

Property count

In OWL there are two types of properties:

Object property count

Object properties link individuals to individuals.

Total Object property count

Data property count

Other then the Object properties the Data properties link individuals to data values

Total data property count
