Metamodel elements and OWL equivalents
Last modified by Linda van den Brink on 2015/04/30 09:18
The elements of the metamodel are listed below; we also provide the OWL equivalent for each element.
In this overview we provide a full representation of metamodel classes, and the equivalent OWL constructs.
| WS Payload | goal | Managed as: | comments | |
| Concept | encapsulate a concept | owl:Class | ||
| Property | define a property that takes the form of a value. Abstract. | owl:DatatypeProperty | ||
| Relation | define a property that relates a concept to another concept. Abstract. | owl:ObjectProperty | ||
| define ‘constraints’ on properties | owl:Restriction | |||
| allow a relation to be applicable to specific subject concepts | rdfs:domain | Not used | ||
| allow a relation to be applicable to specific object concepts | rdfs:range | Not used | ||
| version | specify the version of the construct | owl:versionInfo | ||
| define allowed values for attributes | rdfs:Datatype | Not used | ||
| subtypeOf | a class is more specialized than its superclass | rdfs:subClassOf | ||
| label | define the unique name of any construct | rdfs:label | ||
| definition | describe the construct | skos:definiton | ||
| comment | note aspects of place of the construct in the ontology | rdfs:comment | ||
| modified | record when a construct was modified last | dct:modified | ||
| rightsHolder | record who holds the rights on the construct | dct:rightsHolder | ||
| issue | a reference to issue tracker | cbnl:issue | ||
| reference | reference related resources such as images and documents | dct:reference | Not used | |

| conformsTo | reference a section of a work that explains the nature of the construct | dct:conformsTo | ||
| Work | an resource that can be referenced | cbnl:work | ||
| a standard | cbnl:Standard | |||
| WorkReference | a reference to a work | cbnl:WorkReference | ||
| a reference to a standard | cbnl:StandardReference | |||
| status | the status of a construct in development of the ontology | cbnl:status | ||
| ID | a unique string representing the construct (after migration) | cbnl:id | ||
| sourceID | a unique string representing the construct in the original source (before migration) | cbnl:sourceid | ||
| partOf | record the composition relation between concepts | cbnl:partOf | ||
| memberOf | record that a concept is part of an area of interest | cbnl:isMemberOf | ||
| Collection | an area interest | cbnl:collection | ||
| subcollectionOf | relation between subcollections | cbnl:isSubcollectionOf | ||
| unit | a unit | qudt:* | ||
