SWRC
Semantic Web Research Community (SWRC) ontology

"The SWRC (Semantic Web for Research Communities) is an ontology for modeling entities of research communities such as persons, organisations, publications (bibliographic metadata) and their relationships. It is used in numerous applications and projects including the AIFB portal, Bibster and the SemIPort project."
"The SWRC ontology generically models key entities relevant for typical research communities and the relations between them. The current version of the ontology comprises a total of 53 concepts in a taxonomy and 42 object properties, 20 of which are participating in 10 pairs of inverse object properties. All entities are enriched with additional annotation information."
"SWRC comprises at total of six top level concepts, namely the Person, Publica- tion, Event, Organization, Topic and Project concepts."
The basic modelling seems reasonable and useful, though it's not clear at this time how well it fits with philosophically grounded approaches like CIDOC CRM.
An extension to SWRC is COIN, an ontology to support communities of interest, which looks as if it could be very relevant to our data webs work.
The SWRM paper cited above describes the AKT reference ontology(http://www.aktors.org/publications/ontology/) as being very similar, and cross-mappable.
