INM7 simplified data models for manual metadata entry

The classes and slots in this schema have the (sole) purpose of informing the auto-generation of UIs for data entry. Consequently, the simplify and lump-together concepts and constructs that will eventually be represented with more appropriate data structures from the base schema.

This schema is itself a basis for more specialized schema serving particular use cases. The classes defined here are foundational building block for INM7 concepts to be reused and extended for more targeted applications.

More information is available on the schema's about page.

The schema definition is available as
