The PPROC ontology defines the necessary concepts to describe public procurement process and the contracts of public sector (public e-procurement). The ontology has been designed with the main purpose of publishing data about public contracts. This ontology extends the Public Contracts Ontology, an ontology developed by the czech Open Data initiative. The development of this ontology was part of the CONTSEM project (TSI-020606-2012-4), led by iASoft (OESIA).
The ontology defined in this document can be obtained in RDF/XML at http://contsem.unizar.es/docs/pproc_0.1.4.rdf.
The PPROC ontology has been developed under the project Public procurement optimization through semantic technologies (CONTSEM as spanish acronym). This project involves the participation of iASoft (OESIA) company, the University of Zaragoza, ARAID (Agency created by the Government of Aragon with the aim of promoting research, development and innovation in Aragon) and, as public entities users, the Government of Aragón, the Provincial Council of Huesca and the town halls of Huesca and Zaragoza. The main purpose of the project is to add semantic technologies in the software used by public authorities in the procurement procedures. More specifically, one of the core objectives is to describe semantically the information published in official procurement bulletins. For this purpose CONTSEM participants have developed the PPROC ontology, focused towards Spain laws and Europe in general.
The ontology reuses various ontologies and schemes to describe some entities, more specifically, we make use of the following ontologies and schemes:
| pproc | <http://contsem.unizar.es/def/sector-publico/pproc#> |
| owl | <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#> |

The main class of PPROC ontology is pproc:Contract. This class act as a core from which most of properties that defines the contract starts from. We define pproc:Contract as a subclass of pc:Contract, reusing some of its properties.
The main class of PPROC ontology is pproc:Contract, as it defines the core concept of every public procurement. This class has many subclasses that helps to better define the nature of the contract, the full classification of the pproc:Contract class is the following.
As we can see the pproc:Contract class may represent a full contract, a lot belonging to a contract... obviously, there are some limitations that have to be taken into account when using contract classification. First of all, there is a disjoint union of some classes, avoiding the possibility of having a contract that, for example, is both a pproc:WorksContractpproc:SuppliesContract
The ontology also prevents obvious mistakes like use the pproc:lot property with a pproc:ContractWithoutLots instance. Next we include two examples about the use of lots.
ex:aContract
rdf:type pproc:ContractWithLots;
pproc:lot ex:aContract/Lot_001, ex:aContract/Lot_002 .
ex:aContract/Lot_001
rdf:type pproc:Lot;
ex:aContract/Lot_002
rdf:type pproc:ExtendableContract;
In the first example, we described a contract that have two lots, using the pproc:lot property from a pproc:ContractWithLots to a pproc:Lot and a pproc:ExtendableContract. Since the class pproc:ExtendableContract is not in disjoint union with pproc:Lot, we can state that we are doing fine so far. However, the next example we mistakenly relates a pproc:ContractWithLots with a pproc:ContractWithoutLots, as this last class is in disjoint union with pproc:Lot (expected range of pproc:lot).
ex:anIllegalContract
rdf:type pproc:ContractWithLots;
pc:lot ex:anIllegalContract/Lot_001 .
ex:anIllegalContract/Lot_001
rdf:type pproc:ContractWithoutLots;
Being the class pproc:Contract the core of the ontology, we may find it is connected to several classes that are firmly related with the contract itself (i.e. tenderers requirements or the object of the contract). The next figure shows a general view of the ontology, highlighting by default the properties whose domain is pproc:Contract. The classes of the diagram are grouped in 4 sections, each one symbolizing a particular part of e-procurement. These sections are not explicitly defined in the ontology, they are only shown in the diagrama in order to clarify the part of e-procurement that classes are focused in.
You can also select the class and properties you want to highlight by yourself in the next form.
As we can see, there are some classes directly related with a pproc:Contract aimed to describe different aspects of e-procurement depending of its nature. The next diagram shows only these main classes that conforms the core of the ontology.
PPROC ontology reuses a few classes to describe certain concept. This section number these external classes and the properties recommended to describe them.
The gr:Offering class is used to describe the items the contracting authority seeks or the tender offers. It belongs to the Good Relations vocabulary. This gr:Offering class can be related with pproc:ContractObject (using the property pproc:provision) and pc:Tender class (using the property pproc:item).
The class gr:Offering allows to describe the object using some properties from Good Relations ontology:
gr:name. A short text describing the respective resource. This property is semantically equivalent to dcterms:title and rdfs:label and just meant as a handy shortcut for marking up data.gr:description. A short textual description of the resource. This property is semantically equivalent to rdfs:comment and just meant as a handy shortcut for marking up data.gr:hasPriceSpecification. This links a gr:Offering to a gr:PriceSpecification or specifications.gr:hasEligibleQuantity. This specifies the interval and unit of measurement of ordering quantities for which the gr:Offering is valid. Note that if an offering is a bundle, i.e. it consists of more than one unit of a single type of good, or if the unit of measurement for the good is different from unit (Common Code C62), then gr:hasEligibleQuantity refers to units of this bundle.gr:includesObject. This object property links a gr:Offering to one or multiple gr:TypeAndQuantityNode, node that specify the number and unit of measurement of the components that are included in the respective offer.gr:condition. A textual description of the products or services included in the offer.foaf:page. The page property relates a thing to a document about that thing.
ex:Offering_001 a gr:Offering ;
gr:name "Canon printer model TS-5010"^^xsd:string ;
gr:description "The Canon TS-5010 is a modern printer that allows send multiple
documents to multiple trays, delivering superb quality documents
while printing 200 pages per minute."^^xsd:string ;
gr:hasEligibleQuantity [
a gr:QuantitativeValueInteger;
gr:hasValueInteger "20"^^xsd:int;
gr:hasUnitOfMeasurement "C62"^^xsd:string
] .
gr:hasPriceSpecification ex:Offering_001/Price ;
gr:condition "used"^^xsd:string ;
foaf:page "http://www.canon.com/products/canon5010printer" .
ex:Offering_001/Price a gr:PriceSpecification;
This examples states an offering of 20 units of Canon printer TS-5010
ex:Offering_002 a gr:Offering;
# ... other offer properties omitted for readability
gr:includesObject [ a gr:TypeAndQuantityNode;
gr:amountOfThisGood "20"^^xsd:float;
gr:hasUnitOfMeasurement "C62"^^xsd:string;
gr:typeOfGood ex:cellphone ];
gr:includesObject [ a gr:TypeAndQuantityNode;
gr:amountOfThisGood "40"^^xsd:float;
gr:hasUnitOfMeasurement "C62"^^xsd:string;
gr:typeOfGood ex:charger ] .
ex:cellphone a gr:SomeItems;
gr:name "ACME Cellphone BulkyTalky"@en;
ex:charger a gr:SomeItems;
gr:name "ACME Travelcharger"@en;
This examples states a bundle offering of 20 cellphones and 40 chargers
If the properties explained here are not enough to describe the needed products, we recommend to read the gr:Offering documentation to learn about further properties and classes to describe an offering.
In order to describe the differentes prices of a contract and its objects PPROC reuses two classes from Good Relations ontology: gr:PriceSpecification and its subclass gr:UnitPriceSpecification.
This first class, gr:PriceSpecification is not meant to be used directly, as it is defined as an abstract class by Good Relations. Instead of that, Good Relations defines three subclasses to be used, from which we are only interested in gr:UnitPriceSpecification. This last class allows us to define a price per unit of a gr:Offering.
However, the class gr:UnitPriceSpecification does not permit to define the price of the offer or a contract as a whole or the price of certain type of offerings. Thus, in order to describe this kind of prices (where we don't have to specify the value of each individual item), we use the class pproc:BundlePriceSpecification, defined as a subclass of gr:PriceSpecification.
Therefore we have two classes to define prices, each one aimed to a different type of price. The following diagram shows how we can use them.
As for describing these price classes, we refer to Good Relations specification of gr:PriceSpecification class and include a few examples next.
ex:contract_A
rdf:type pproc:Contract ;
pproc:contractEcononicConditions ex:contract_A/CEC .
ex:contract_A/CEC
rdf:type pproc:ContractEconomicConditions ;
pproc:budgetPrice ex:contract_A/CEC/budget .
ex:contract_A/CEC/budget
rdf:type pproc:BundlePriceSpecifications ;
gr:hasCurrencyValue "50000.0"^^xsd:float ;
gr:valueAddedTaxIncluded "false"^^xsd:boolean ;
gr:hasCurrency "EUR"^^xsd:string .
This example defines a contract with a budget of 50,000 EUR taxes not included.
ex:Offering_002
rdf:type gr:Offering ;
gr:hasPriceSpecification ex:Offering_002/Price .
ex:Offering_002/Price
rdf:type pproc:BundlePriceSpecifications ;
gr:hasCurrencyValue "5000.0"^^xsd:float ;
gr:valueAddedTaxIncluded "true"^^xsd:boolean ;
gr:hasCurrency "EUR"^^xsd:string .
In this example we refer to the bundle gr:Offering example of the previous section (2nd example), setting the price of the bundle (20 cellphones and 40 chargers) at 5,000 EUR (tax included).
ex:Offering_001
rdf:type gr:Offering ;
gr:hasPriceSpecification ex:Offering_001/Price .
ex:Offering_001/Price
rdf:type gr:UnitPriceSpecifications ;
gr:hasCurrencyValue "1000.0"^^xsd:float ;
gr:valueAddedTaxIncluded "true"^^xsd:boolean ;
gr:hasCurrency "EUR"^^xsd:string .
In this example we refer to the gr:Offering example of the previous section (1st example), setting the price of each printer at 1,000 EUR (tax included).
In this case, the contracting authority still seeks for 20 printers, and the price of the whole gr:Offering would be 20,000 EUR. We could use pproc:BundlePriceSpecification to set that price instead.
Note that when using gr:UnitPriceSpecification to setting prices of a contract offering, the gr:Offering needs to have defined the number of the items the authority seeks, that is, a triple using the gr:hasEligibleQuantity property.
To describe the several organizations needed in the PPROC ontology, like the contracting authority or the suppliers, we make use of the Organization Ontology. This ontology provides the classes and properties needed to describe organizational structures.
The entities meant to be used together with PPROC are the following:
org:Organization class. Represents a collection of people organized together into a community or other social, commercial or political structure.org:subOrganizationOf object property. Represents hierarchical containment of Organizations; indicates an Organization which contains this Organization.org:hasSubOrganization object property. Represents hierarchical containment of Organizations; indicates an organization which is a sub-part or child of this organization. This property is the inverse of org:subOrganizationOf.org:identifier data property. Gives an identifier, such as a company registration number, that can be used to used to uniquely identify the organization.org:hasSite object property. Indicates a site at which the Organization has some presence even if only indirect (e.g. virtual office or a professional service which is acting as the registered address for a company).The properties meant to be linked to an org:Organization are the following.
pc:contractingAuthoritypproc:contractingBodypproc:managingDepartmentpproc:delegatingAuthoritypc:onBehalfOfpc:supplierAll these properties but the last one have pproc:Contract as domain.
As for describing these classes, we refer to Organization Ontology specification and include a few examples next.
ex:contract_A
rdf:type pproc:Contract ;
pc:contractingAuthority ex:zaragozaCityHall ;
pproc:contractingBody ex:zaragozaCityHall/ContractingBody ;
pproc:managingDepartment ex:zaragozaCityHall/WaterAndSewerDepartment .
ex:zaragozaCityHall
rdf:type org:Organization ;
s:name "Zaragoza City Hall"^^xsd:string ;
org:identifier "string to uniquely identify the Zaragoza City Hall"^^xsd:string ;
org:hasSite ex:zaragozaCityHall/Place .
ex:zaragozaCityHall/ContractingBody
rdf:type org:Organization ;
s:name "Contracting Body of Zaragoza City Hall"^^xsd:string ;
org:subOrganizationOf ex:zaragozaCityHall ;
org:hasSite ex:zaragozaCityHall/Place .
ex:zaragozaCityHall/WaterAndSewerDepartment
rdf:type org:Organization ;
s:name "Zaragoza Water and Sewer Department"^^xsd:string ;
org:subOrganizationOf ex:zaragozaCityHall ;
org:hasSite ex:zaragozaCityHall/Place .
In this example, we described three Organizations, two of them contained inside a mayor one.
To name the Organizations, we could use the properties s:name, rdfs:label or skos:prefLabel.
In order to define committee members we use the foaf:Person class. We could describe them with the next properties.
foaf:firstName. The first name of a person.foaf:lastName. The last name of a person.s:jobTitle. The job title of the person (e.g. Financial Manager).pproc:tenderCommitteeRole. Indicated the role of a person inside the committee.org:memberOf. Indicates that an agent (person or other organization) is a member of the Organization with no indication of the nature of that membership or the role played.The foaf:firstName property is provided (alongside foaf:lastName) as a mechanism to support legacy data that cannot be easily interpreted in terms of the (otherwise preferred) foaf:familyName and foaf:givenName properties. The concepts of 'first' and 'last' names do not work well across cultural and linguistic boundaries; however they are widely used in addressbooks and databases.
ex:Contract_001/TenderCommittee
rdf:type pproc:TenderCommittee ;
pproc:fullMember ex:Persons/AGarcia ;
pproc:alternateMember ex:Persons/MCarcas ;
ex:Persons/AGarcia
rdf:type foaf:Person ;
foaf:firstName "Alberto"^^xsd:string ;
foaf:lastName "Garcia"^^xsd:string ;
s:jobTitle "Major"^^xsd:string ;
pproc:tenderCommitteeRole "President"^^xsd:string;
org:memberOf ex:zaragozaCityHall/ContractingBody .
ex:Persons/MCarcas
rdf:type foaf:Person ;
foaf:firstName "Maria"^^xsd:string ;
foaf:lastName "Carcas"^^xsd:string ;
s:jobTitle "Public contract manager"^^xsd:string ;
pproc:tenderCommitteeRole "Vocal"^^xsd:string;
org:memberOf ex:zaragozaCityHall .
In the PPROC ontology we can find several entities that needs of a description of a certain place or location, e.g. the location where the goods have to be delivered or the postal address of a supplier.
In order to describe these places we make use of the Schema.org vocabulary, concretely the class s:Place and its related properties.
To describe s:Place we could use following properties.
s:name. This property has a xsd:string as a range.s:address. Property meant to relates a s:Place with its physical address. The range of this property is s:PostalAddress.In order to define the physical address using s:PostalAddress we could use the next properties.
s:streetAddress. The street address.s:postalCode. The postal code.s:addressLocality. The locality.s:addressCountry. The country. For example, Spain. You can also provide the two-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.All of the last properties have xsd:string as a range.
ex:zaragozaCityHall/Place
rdf:type s:Place ;
s:name "Place of Zaragoza City Hall"^^xsd:string ;
s:address ex:zaragozaCityHall/PostalAddress .
ex:zaragozaCityHall/PostalAddress
rdf:type s:PostalAddress ;
s:streetAddress "Plaza del Pilar, 18"^^xsd:string ;
s:postalCode "50003"^^xsd:string ;
s:addressLocality "Zaragoza"^^xsd:string ;
s:addressCountry "Spain"^^xsd:string .
