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.

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

Classes

Class Description
Annotation A tag/value pair with the semantics of OWL Annotation.
AttributeSpecification An attribute is conceptually a thing, but it requires no dedicated identifier (pid). Instead, it is linked to a Thing via its attributes slot and declares a predicate on the nature of the relationship.
CurationAid Technical helper providing curation-related slots.
Identifier An identifier is a label that uniquely identifies an item in a particular context. Some identifiers are globally unique. All identifiers are unique within their individual scope.
        ComputedIdentifier An identifier that has been derived from information on the identified entity.
                Checksum A Checksum is a value that allows to check the integrity of the contents of a file. Even small changes to the content of the file will change its checksum. This class allows the results of a variety of checksum and cryptographic message digest algorithms to be represented.
        IssuedIdentifier An identifier that was issued by a particular agent with a notation that has no (or an undefined) relation to the nature of the identified entity.
                DOI Digital Object Identifier (DOI; ISO 26324), an identifier system governed by the DOI Foundation, where individual identifiers are issued by one of several registration agencies.
Statement An RDF statement that links a predicate (a Property) with an object (a Thing) to the subject to form a triple. A Statement is used to qualify a relation to a Thing referenced by its identifier. For specifying a qualified relation to an attribute that has no dedicated identifier, use an AttributeSpecification.
Thing The most basic, identifiable item. In addition to the slots that are common between a Thing and an AttributeSpecification (see ThingMixin), two additional slots are provided. The pid slot takes the required identifier for a Thing. The relation slot allows for the inline specification of other Thing instances. Such a relation is unqualified (and symmetric), and should be further characterized via a Statement (see characterized_by). From a schema perspective, the relation slots allows for building self-contained, structured documents (e.g., a JSON object) with arbitrarily complex information on a Thing.
        Accolade An award, prize, or other honor received in recognition of an achievement.
        Building A structure with a roof and walls.
        BuildingLevel A single level or floor of a (multilevel) building.
        Dataset A collection of data, published or curated by a single agent.
        Deliverable An entity that needs to be provided to another party, typically requiring to perform a specific task. For example, a write-up on a specific development, a software tool ready for download, a dataset acquired.
        Grant A grant, typically financial or otherwise quantifiable, resources.
        Journal A periodical that publishes (peer-reviewed) academic articles.
        JournalArticle A report that is published in a journal.
        Organization A social or legal institution such as a company, a society, or a university.
        Person A person.
        Project A collective endeavour of some kind. Typically it is a planned process that is undertaken or attempted to meet some requirement, or to achieve a particular goal.
        Property An RDF property, a Thing used to define a predicate, for example in a Statement.
        Room An area within a building enclosed by walls and floor and ceiling.
        Site A place or region where entities (building, office, etc.) reside.
        ValueSpecification A Thing that is a value of some kind. This class can be used to describe an outcome of a measurement, a factual value or constant, or other qualitative or quantitative information with an associated identifier. If no identifier is available, an AttributeSpecification can be used within the context of an associated Thing (attributes).
ThingMixin Mix-in with the common interface of Thing and AttributeSpecification. This interface enables type specifications (rdf:type) for things and attributes via a type designator slot to indicate specialized schema classes for validation where a slot's range is too generic. A thing or attribute can be further describe with statements on qualified relations to other things (characterized_by), or inline attributes (attributes). A set of mappings slots enables the alignment for arbitrary external schemas and terminologies.
ValueSpecificationMixin Mix-in for a (structured) value specification. Two slots are provided to define a (literal) value (value) and its type (range).
