SC-001
DataRule Contract
Jurisdiction-bound data processing rule with mandatory bilingual label, domain assignment, and legal basis
A governed, agile operating model for enterprise knowledge graph management — with semantic contracts, CI/CD quality gates, and certified KPI dashboards.
OAAP (Ontology-as-a-Product) is ArcaQ's key differentiator for sovereign, auditable enterprise AI.
Why it matters: OAAP is the key differentiator that turns ontology from static documentation into an operational advantage.
ArcaQ treats the enterprise ontology as a living product, not a static artefact. Each concept is governed by a semantic contract, every change goes through a CI/CD pipeline, and KPIs are certified by named domain experts.
Clear accountability prevents ontology chaos in multi-domain enterprises.
| Role | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| Ontology Product Owner | Prioritises the concept backlog, approves change proposals, owns the contracts registry |
| Ontology Architect | Designs class hierarchy, namespace policy, SHACL shapes, OWL axioms |
| Domain Steward | Validates domain-specific concepts, certifies KPIs, signs off bilingual labels |
| Ontology Engineer | Implements TTL, runs CI/CD pipeline, resolves SHACL violations, manages releases |
| Knowledge Consumer | Uses the ontology via SPARQL, API, or OData — raises change proposals when gaps found |
Every concept in ArcaQ's ontology follows a governed 5-state lifecycle.
A Semantic Contract is a binding agreement defining the cardinality, constraints, versioning policy, and deprecation rules for each ontology concept. No concept enters production without a valid contract.
Every ontology release — including hotfixes — must pass 5 automated quality gates before deployment.
Real-time ontology health and adoption metrics — available via the ArcaQ dashboard and REST API.
