Thus, the design of the ontology module for compliance was focused on establishing information and relations between information to provide the EU-DoC in a reliable form and according to the requirements set out in Article 44 and Annex V of the ESPR. For developing the ontology model, the following competency questions guided the basic design of the underlying knowledge graph. Q1: Provide all information from the DPP relevant to be presented with the EU-DoC (extract the EU-DoC). Q2: Did the manufacturer declare an authorized representative to issue the EU-DoC? Q3: Which Union Harmonised Legislation is applied for the product? Q4: Which product requirements need to be fulfilled for the product? Q5: Which notified bodies did an assessment of the product requirements according to which conformity assessment modules? --------- The compliance module introduces the class EUDeclarationOfConformity as knowledge graph node to access all information required by the ESPR Annex V for the EU-DoC. Objects from the Product and Actor ontology modules provide substantial information in the context of the EU-DoC and relevant links are provided through the Connector ontology. In particular, EUDeclarationofConformity is a subclass of the Document product property. Different Actor objects can be linked to identify the entities such as the issuer of the EU-DoC, its signer, the product manufacturer or the authorized representative on behalf of the manufacturer. It is important to note, that an Actor who is the manufacturer must provide the Actor role assignment to the manufacturer's role. If an authorized representative is provided, the Actor must provide an Authorized representative assignment linked to the manufacturer's role. In addition, the compliance ontology provides classes for defining the Union Harmonisation Legislation, Product Requirements such as harmonized standards, common specifications or other technical specifications, Conformity Assessment Modules and Certificates. The EU-DoC class refers to the relevant Union Harmonisation Legislation, and each legislation refers to the applicable product requirements used for presumption of conformity. An additional object property is provided to directly link the product with the Union Harmonisation Legislation it is in conformance with. Finally, the Union Harmonisation Legislation class has a data property allowing to link the European Legislation IDs (ELI) from the European Common Data Model (http://publications.europa.eu/resource/dataset/cdm). Notified bodies, who assess conformity of the product with the Union Harmonisation Legislation, are represented using the Actor ontology too. The linked Actor object must provide the Actor role assignment to the role of a notified body. The data property of this Actor object must provide the NANDO numbering system as operator identifier scheme and the NANDO number of the underlying notified body as operator ID. All notified bodies within Europe are listed with a unique number in the NANDO repository (https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/single-market-compliance-space/notified-bodies). Notified bodies assess compliance with requirements from Union Harmonisation Legislation according to predefined conformity assessment modules as defined by the New Legislative Framework the ESPR is aligned to (http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2008/768(1)/oj). The notified bodies are linked through object properties to the applied Conformity Assessment Modules and the Certificates issued as outcomes of the conformity assessment performed. The Certificates must provide the number of the certificate and where relevant also the revision number of a certificate."""@en ; "2026-06-05" ; , """This ontology is licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.

The EU-DoC must provide information for all Union Harmonisation Legislation that is applied for the product. Thus, no explicit identification of Union Harmonisation Legislation relevant for CE marking is required, as this is an intrinsic property. Note 2: Annex V of the ESPR mentions technical documentation in addition to conformity certificates as possible data elements to include in the DPP for “compliance documentation and information required under this Regulation or other Union law applicable to the product”. These could be included as Documents in the product ontology and in an upcoming version of the compliance module references will be added."""@en , "The Compliance module of an EU DPP core ontology proposed by the CIRPASS-2 European project."@en ;
