<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-DE" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Following up after the discussion in the OSCARS project meeting about a PaNET inspired release pipeline and redirects for NeXus Ontology, here is where things stand.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-DE" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-DE" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I have built a
<a href="https://github.com/FAIRmat-NFDI/NeXusOntology/blob/r2025_11/.github/workflows/release.yml">
pipeline</a> that generates the NeXus Ontology from the release tags of the definitions such that each gets its own matching ontology release (these are currently on the
<a href="https://github.com/FAIRmat-NFDI/NeXusOntology">FAIRmat-NFDI/NeXusOntology</a> fork). Currently one needs to manually trigger the pipeline. When it runs, it builds the ontology and its documentation, does a few checks, then publishes it as a proper
GitHub <a href="https://github.com/FAIRmat-NFDI/NeXusOntology/releases">release</a> with the generated files (owl, ttl, n-triples, json-ld) attached directly, the same way PaNET does it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-DE" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-DE" style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The
<a href="https://fairmat-nfdi.github.io/NeXusOntology/v2026.01/index-en.html">documentation</a> is versioned too. Each release keeps its own page, and there is a "<a href="https://fairmat-nfdi.github.io/NeXusOntology/latest/index-en.html">latest</a>" that always
points at whichever one is newest, so <a href="https://fairmat-nfdi.github.io/NeXusOntology/v2025.11/index-en.html">
older versions</a> stay reachable instead of getting overwritten the next time something ships. Furthermore, individual terms are also resolved to their own section in the documentation, for example
<a href="https://fairmat-nfdi.github.io/NeXusOntology/v2026.01/index-en.html#NXentry">
NXentry</a>. The seeAlso links to manual.nexusformat.org that are already in the ontology now actually show up in the generated documentation as clickable links. Before they were being generated but were not rendering. So that is fixed as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the meantime and the <a href="https://github.com/Tanmay2028/w3id.org/blob/5ed80a8ff6b4442d24307a5b31cd886c9cea0ae6/ids/PaN/NeXus/.htaccess">
