Request for Ontology on Governance and Legal Entities
Sorry if it is the wrong place to ask. I am looking for an ontology for the things like governance, government, law, legal entity etc. Can somebody point me to a vocabulary like this? Thanks:)

That sounds like a question for Jean Delahousse. Also Anna feel free to ask on answers.knowledgegraph.tech
The use case is to describe this kind of environment. To describe relations between legal entities, government entities, institutions, regulations, their hierarchical structures.
I searched in: 1.聽聽聽聽https://lod-cloud.net/ 2.聽聽聽聽http://www.daml.org/ontologies/ 3.聽聽聽聽http://archivo.dbpedia.org/ 4.聽聽聽聽https://lov.linkeddata.es/dataset/lov/
No success. Most of the links are either old or broken or empty or no help. Studies don't help either. I need something ready to use and straightforward.
Assume you have an ontology that "describes the environment". What's next? Search? Data Integration? Sharing data on the web?
A lot of these legal ontologies are very academic so I'm not surprised that there is something public that is in "production"
The project and the data are not for public. The users of the application need the interface to at least find the instances of this environment in the most effective way. Other, more analytical functionalities are based on this search.
Yes, I still cannot find a better one than the org ontology..
Maybe this is relevant for you: https://ec.europa.eu/isa2/solutions/core-vocabularies. (Just stumbled across this, so can鈥檛 say much else about it.)
Thanks, Marcel. I looked at these as well. But no idea, who can use it and in what use case. Very few classes and properties, some of them cryptic. I need something practical, at least like org or prov-o. Something to download, extend and use. Still searching.. 馃檪
It seems that often what lacks with ontologies "in the wild" is proper documentation. Including examples with code snippets, graphical representations, diagrams and natural language explanation of the coverage. There are many ontologies and vocabularies that often intersect but it's hard to know which one to use or if they will actually be useful for a given modeling problem.
Anna G. I know that Thomas Francart had in the past done some work around legislative modeling. Don't know where it's at, but these will give you some background. sparna.fr is his site.

If you dare go down this particular rabbit hole, Michael Smethurst's blog is a journey down the strange pathways of British parliamentary procedure modeling (not in any way useful if you were looking for an actual ontology to reference here:) https://smethur.st/
