description: "Why thirteen CDM attribute names, such as `name`, `description` and `version`, are top-level slots in `common_domain_model_keys.yaml`: so that `lokf adapt` renames them in the copy, and a concept's own description keeps LOKF's IRI."

# Keys shared with LOKF

The JSON-LD context gives each key one IRI, so a CDM key named like a LOKF one would project a concept's description, name or version under the CDM's IRI. `lokf adapt` renames a clashing slot in the copy but not a class's attribute, so these names are slots, and each class gives its own description and range in `slot_usage`.[^rosetta_to_linkml.py]

A test holds the list to the names LOKF's schema defines.[^test_schema_rules.py]
