EntityInfluence
type: Class
comment: EntityInfluence provides additional descriptions of an Entity's binary influence upon any other kind of resource. Instances of EntityInfluence use the provprov:Entity property to cite the influencing Entity.
comment: It is not recommended that the type EntityInfluence be asserted without also asserting one of its more specific subclasses.
subclass of: Influence

InstantaneousEvent
type: Class
comment: An instantaneous event, or event for short, happens in the world and marks a change in the world, in its activities and in its entities. The term 'event' is commonly used in process algebra with a similar meaning. Events represent communications or interactions; they are assumed to be atomic and instantaneous.
category: qualified
component: entities-activities
constraints: http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/REC-prov-constraints-20130430/#dfn-event
definition: The PROV data model is implicitly based on a notion of instantaneous events (or just events), that mark transitions in the world. Events include generation, usage, or invalidation of entities, as well as starting or ending of activities. This notion of event is not first-class in the data model, but it is useful for explaining its other concepts and its semantics.

Invalidation
type: Class
comment: An instance of prov:Invalidation provides additional descriptions about the binary prov:wasInvalidatedBy relation from an invalidated provprov:Entity to the prov:Activity that invalidated it. For example, :uncracked_egg prov:wasInvalidatedBy :baking; prov:qualifiedInvalidation [ a prov:Invalidation; prov:activity :baking; :foo :bar ].
subclass of: ActivityInfluence
subclass of: InstantaneousEvent
category: qualified
component: entities-activities
constraints: http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/REC-prov-constraints-20130430/#prov-dm-constraints-fig
definition: Invalidation is the start of the destruction, cessation, or expiry of an existing entity by an activity. The entity is no longer available for use (or further invalidation) after invalidation. Any generation or usage of an entity precedes its invalidation.

type: Class
comment: There exist no prescriptive requirement on the nature of plans, their representation, the actions or steps they consist of, or their intended goals. Since plans may evolve over time, it may become necessary to track their provenance, so plans themselves are entities. Representing the plan explicitly in the provenance can be useful for various tasks: for example, to validate the execution as represented in the provenance record, to manage expectation failures, or to provide explanations.
subclass of: Entity
category: expanded
category: qualified
component: agents-responsibility
definition: A plan is an entity that represents a set of actions or steps intended by one or more agents to achieve some goals.

PrimarySource
type: Class
comment: An instance of prov:PrimarySource provides additional descriptions about the binary prov:hadPrimarySource relation from some secondary provprov:Entity to an earlier, primary provprov:Entity. For example, :blog prov:hadPrimarySource :newsArticle; prov:qualifiedPrimarySource [ a prov:PrimarySource; provprov:Entity :newsArticle; :foo :bar ] .
subclass of: Derivation
category: qualified
component: derivations
definition: A primary source for a topic refers to something produced by some agent with direct experience and knowledge about the topic, at the time of the topic's study, without benefit from hindsight. Because of the directness of primary sources, they 'speak for themselves' in ways that cannot be captured through the filter of secondary sources. As such, it is important for secondary sources to reference those primary sources from which they were derived, so that their reliability can be investigated. A primary source relation is a particular case of derivation of secondary materials from their primary sources. It is recognized that the determination of primary sources can be up to interpretation, and should be done according to conventions accepted within the application's domain.

subclass of: Derivation
category: qualified
component: derivations
definition: A quotation is the repeat of (some or all of) an entity, such as text or image, by someone who may or may not be its original author. Quotation is a particular case of derivation.

subclass of: Derivation
category: qualified
component: derivations
definition: A revision is a derivation for which the resulting entity is a revised version of some original. The implication here is that the resulting entity contains substantial content from the original. Revision is a particular case of derivation.

SKOS Vocabulary
type: Ontology

creator: Alistair Miles
creator: Sean Bechhofer
description: An RDF vocabulary for describing the basic structure and content of concept schemes such as thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies, 'folksonomies', other types of controlled vocabulary, and also concept schemes embedded in glossaries and terminologies.

Concept Scheme
type: Class
disjoint with: Concept
definition: A set of concepts, optionally including statements about semantic relationships between those concepts.
example: Thesauri, classification schemes, subject heading lists, taxonomies, 'folksonomies', and other types of controlled vocabulary are all examples of concept schemes. Concept schemes are also embedded in glossaries and terminologies.
scope note: A concept scheme may be defined to include concepts from different sources.

Collection
type: Class
disjoint with: Concept
disjoint with: Concept Scheme
definition: A meaningful collection of concepts.
scope note: Labelled collections can be used where you would like a set of concepts to be displayed under a 'node label' in the hierarchy.

Ordered Collection
type: Class
subclass of: Collection
definition: An ordered collection of concepts, where both the grouping and the ordering are meaningful.
scope note: Ordered collections can be used where you would like a set of concepts to be displayed in a specific order, and optionally under a 'node label'.

is in scheme
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
range: Concept Scheme
definition: Relates a resource (for example a concept) to a concept scheme in which it is included.
scope note: A concept may be a member of more than one concept scheme.

has top concept
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
domain: Concept Scheme
range: Concept
inverse of: is top concept in scheme
definition: Relates, by convention, a concept scheme to a concept which is topmost in the broader/narrower concept hierarchies for that scheme, providing an entry point to these hierarchies.

is top concept in scheme
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
domain: Concept
range: Concept Scheme
sub property of: is in scheme
inverse of: has top concept
definition: Relates a concept to the concept scheme that it is a top level concept of.

preferred label
type: Property
type: AnnotationProperty
comment: A resource has no more than one value of skos:prefLabel per language tag, and no more than one value of skos:prefLabel without language tag.
comment: The range of skos:prefLabel is the class of RDF plain literals.
comment: skos:prefLabel, skos:altLabel and skos:hiddenLabel are pairwise disjoint properties.
sub property of: label
definition: The preferred lexical label for a resource, in a given language.

alternative label
type: Property
type: AnnotationProperty
comment: The range of skos:altLabel is the class of RDF plain literals.
comment: skos:prefLabel, skos:altLabel and skos:hiddenLabel are pairwise disjoint properties.
sub property of: label
definition: An alternative lexical label for a resource.
example: Acronyms, abbreviations, spelling variants, and irregular plural/singular forms may be included among the alternative labels for a concept. Mis-spelled terms are normally included as hidden labels (see skos:hiddenLabel).

hidden label
type: Property
type: AnnotationProperty
comment: The range of skos:hiddenLabel is the class of RDF plain literals.
comment: skos:prefLabel, skos:altLabel and skos:hiddenLabel are pairwise disjoint properties.
sub property of: label
definition: A lexical label for a resource that should be hidden when generating visual displays of the resource, but should still be accessible to free text search operations.

notation
type: Property
type: DatatypeProperty
definition: A notation, also known as classification code, is a string of characters such as "T58.5" or "303.4833" used to uniquely identify a concept within the scope of a given concept scheme.
scope note: By convention, skos:notation is used with a typed literal in the object position of the triple.

note
type: Property
type: AnnotationProperty
definition: A general note, for any purpose.
scope note: This property may be used directly, or as a super-property for more specific note types.

change note
type: Property
type: AnnotationProperty
sub property of: note
definition: A note about a modification to a concept.

definition
type: Property
type: AnnotationProperty
sub property of: note
definition: A statement or formal explanation of the meaning of a concept.

editorial note
type: Property
type: AnnotationProperty
sub property of: note
definition: A note for an editor, translator or maintainer of the vocabulary.

example

type: AnnotationProperty
sub property of: note
definition: An example of the use of a concept.

history note
type: Property

type: AnnotationProperty
sub property of: note
definition: A note that helps to clarify the meaning and/or the use of a concept.

is in semantic relation with
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
domain: Concept
range: Concept
definition: Links a concept to a concept related by meaning.
scope note: This property should not be used directly, but as a super-property for all properties denoting a relationship of meaning between concepts.

has broader
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
comment: Broader concepts are typically rendered as parents in a concept hierarchy (tree).
sub property of: has broader transitive
inverse of: has narrower
definition: Relates a concept to a concept that is more general in meaning.
scope note: By convention, skos:broader is only used to assert an immediate (i.e. direct) hierarchical link between two conceptual resources.

has narrower
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
comment: Narrower concepts are typically rendered as children in a concept hierarchy (tree).
sub property of: has narrower transitive
inverse of: has broader
definition: Relates a concept to a concept that is more specific in meaning.
scope note: By convention, skos:broader is only used to assert an immediate (i.e. direct) hierarchical link between two conceptual resources.

has related
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
type: SymmetricProperty
comment: skos:related is disjoint with skos:broaderTransitive
sub property of: is in semantic relation with
definition: Relates a concept to a concept with which there is an associative semantic relationship.

has broader transitive
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
type: TransitiveProperty
sub property of: is in semantic relation with
inverse of: has narrower transitive
definition: skos:broaderTransitive is a transitive superproperty of skos:broader.
scope note: By convention, skos:broaderTransitive is not used to make assertions. Rather, the properties can be used to draw inferences about the transitive closure of the hierarchical relation, which is useful e.g. when implementing a simple query expansion algorithm in a search application.

has narrower transitive
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
type: TransitiveProperty
sub property of: is in semantic relation with
inverse of: has broader transitive
definition: skos:narrowerTransitive is a transitive superproperty of skos:narrower.
scope note: By convention, skos:narrowerTransitive is not used to make assertions. Rather, the properties can be used to draw inferences about the transitive closure of the hierarchical relation, which is useful e.g. when implementing a simple query expansion algorithm in a search application.

has member

type: ObjectProperty
domain: Collection
range: Class
  union of: Concept
  union of: Collection
definition: Relates a collection to one of its members.

has member list
type: Property
type: FunctionalProperty
type: ObjectProperty
comment: For any resource, every item in the list given as the value of the skos:memberList property is also a value of the skos:member property.
domain: Ordered Collection
range: List
definition: Relates an ordered collection to the RDF list containing its members.

is in mapping relation with
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
comment: These concept mapping relations mirror semantic relations, and the data model defined below is similar (with the exception of skos:exactMatch) to the data model defined for semantic relations. A distinct vocabulary is provided for concept mapping relations, to provide a convenient way to differentiate links within a concept scheme from links between concept schemes. However, this pattern of usage is not a formal requirement of the SKOS data model, and relies on informal definitions of best practice.
sub property of: is in semantic relation with
definition: Relates two concepts coming, by convention, from different schemes, and that have comparable meanings

has broader match
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: has broader
sub property of: is in mapping relation with
inverse of: has narrower match
definition: skos:broadMatch is used to state a hierarchical mapping link between two conceptual resources in different concept schemes.

has narrower match
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: is in mapping relation with
sub property of: has narrower
inverse of: has broader match
definition: skos:narrowMatch is used to state a hierarchical mapping link between two conceptual resources in different concept schemes.

has related match
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
type: SymmetricProperty
sub property of: is in mapping relation with
sub property of: has related
definition: skos:relatedMatch is used to state an associative mapping link between two conceptual resources in different concept schemes.

has exact match
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
type: SymmetricProperty
type: TransitiveProperty
comment: skos:exactMatch is disjoint with each of the properties skos:broadMatch and skos:relatedMatch.
sub property of: has close match
definition: skos:exactMatch is used to link two concepts, indicating a high degree of confidence that the concepts can be used interchangeably across a wide range of information retrieval applications. skos:exactMatch is a transitive property, and is a sub-property of skos:closeMatch.

has close match
type: Property
type: ObjectProperty
type: SymmetricProperty
sub property of: is in mapping relation with
definition: skos:closeMatch is used to link two concepts that are sufficiently similar that they can be used interchangeably in some information retrieval applications. In order to avoid the possibility of "compound errors" when combining mappings across more than two concept schemes, skos:closeMatch is not declared to be a transitive property.
