Metamodel module of the datamodel ontology
Relates an instance to the class that describes it.
The semantic meaning of 'instanceOf' is the same as 'rdf:type'. But since first order logic, of which OWL descriptive logic is based on, we introduce 'instanceOf' as an annotation property.
instanceOf
hasDimensionValue
hasPropertyValue
The size of a dimension value.
hasDimensionSize
Relates an instance to the URI that uniquely identifies the metadata that describes the instance.
hasMeta
Refers to a unique UUID identifying an instance.
hasUUID
A basic metadata schema that can describe itself.
BasicMetadataSchema
An instance representing actual data. It is hence disjoint from Metadata.
DataInstance
Value of a dimension of a an instance.
DimensionValue
A meta-metadata that describes an entity.
EntitySchema
An instance of a metadata. Instances are uniquely identified by their UUID, but may also have an more human readable identity. Instances holds the values of the dimensions and the properties described by their metadata.
DataObject
Instance
Metadata describing its instances.
Metadata
The value of a property of a data object. Since the type system is kept open-ended there are no restriction on the actual value in this ontology. In an actual implementation there will be a restriction.
