Classes

Class	Description
Annotation	Generic Model root class for entity annotations.
QuantityValue	A value of an attribute that is quantitative and measurable, expressed as a combination of a unit and a numeric value
Entity	Root Generic Model class for all things and informational relationships, real or imagined.
Association	A typed association between two entities, supported by evidence
NamedThing	a databased entity or concept/class
AdministrativeEntity	Entity responsible for managing the affairs of an organization
Agent	person, group, organization or project that provides a piece of information (i.e. a knowledge association)
Project	collaborative enterprise, frequently involving research or design, that is carefully planned to achieve a particular aim
Attribute	A property or characteristic of an entity. For example, an apple may have properties such as color, shape, age, crispiness. An environmental sample may have attributes such as depth, lat, long, material.
BiologicalSex	Status as female, male, or intersex depending on their chromosomes, reproductive organs, and other characteristics
ControlRole	A role played by the entity or part thereof within a control context.
SeverityValue	describes the severity of a observable feature or fault
SystemAttribute	describes a characteristic of an SystemEntity.
Boundary	dividing line between two areas or sets of points in a topological space; difference between the closure and the interior
Designation	representation for someone or something by a sign that denotes it
Identifier	Sequence of characters uniquely identifying that with which it is associated
Name	distinctive designation for an individual (person, organization or thing)
Event	Something that happens at a given place and time.
InformationContentEntity	a piece of information that typically describes some topic of discourse or is used as support.
Dataset	an item that refers to a collection of data from a data source.
DatasetDistribution	an item that holds distribution level information about a dataset
DatasetSummary	an item that holds summary level information about a dataset.
DatasetVersion	an item that holds version level information about a dataset.
EvidenceType	Class of evidence that supports an association
InformationResource	A database or knowledgebase and its supporting ecosystem of interfaces and services that deliver content to consumers (e.g. web portals, APIs, query endpoints, streaming services, data downloads, etc.). A single Information Resource by this definition may span many different datasets or databases, and include many access endpoints and user interfaces. Information Resources include project-specific resources such as a Translator Knowledge Provider, and community knowledgebases.
Knowledge	A set of knowledge or reproducible skills acquired through study or experience.
Message	discrete unit of communication intended by the source for consumption by some recipient or group of recipients
Instruction	message intended to convey a course of action for the audience to follow
Rule	prescription, including laws, regulations, instructions, guidelines, and social conventions; determinate method for performing any operation
Law	system of rules and guidelines, generally backed by governmental authority
Regulation	general term for rules or controls, including delegated legislation and self-regulation within an organisation
Governance	all of the processes of governing, whether undertaken by a government, market or network, whether over a family, tribe, formal or informal organization or territory and whether through the laws, norms, power or language of an organized society
Publication	Any published piece of information. Can refer to a whole publication, its encompassing publication (i.e. journal or book) or to a part of a publication, if of significant knowledge scope (e.g. a figure, figure legend, or section highlighted by NLP). The scope is intended to be general and include information published on the web, as well as printed materials, either directly or in one of the Publication Generic category subclasses.
Article	A written composition in prose, usually nonfiction, on a specific topic, forming an independent part of a book or other publication
Book	This class may rarely be instantiated except if use cases of a given knowledge graph support its utility.
BookChapter	None
Serial	This class may rarely be instantiated except if use cases of a given knowledge graph support its utility.
Specification	A detailed description of criteria for a piece of work.
OpenAccess	Free distribution of knowledge
Phenomenon	a fact or situation that is observed to exist or happen, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question
PlanetaryEntity	Any entity or process that exists at the level of the whole planet
GeographicLocation	a location that can be described in lat/long coordinates
System	An entity that intends to perform some functions, interacting with other systems. Relative to a given system, the entities with which it interacts, are considered its environment. A system is structurally composed of a set of components bound together.
Component	The component is the smallest system entity that can be deployed, isolated, and restored independently. A self-contained assembly of parts within a complete operating unit or module, which cannot be further subdivided without loss of identity or function. The compoent is part of a system structurally composed of a set of components bound together. Each component is another system and this recursive definition stops when a component is regarded as atomic."
Device	A thing made or adapted for a particular purpose, especially a piece of mechanical or electronic equipment.
Environment	Part of the universe outside the boundaries of a given system, interacting with that given system.
IndividualSystem	An instance of an system. For example, human. Computer, my pet cat.
OperationalEntity	A operational entity is a control entity
SoftwareOrDevice	Either software or hardware
Hardware	physical components of a computer
Software	A set of instructions in a computer programming language that can be executed by a computer, possibly after compilation into another programming language. The term Software includes ComputerPrograms (free-standing software), object methods, subroutines and software packages.
MetaObject	linkml:Any type is an experimental feature for allowing arbitrary objects
OntologyClass	a concept or class in an ontology, vocabulary or thesaurus. Note that nodes in a base compatible KG can be considered both instances of base classes, and OWL classes in their own right. In general you should not need to use this class directly. Instead, use the appropriate base class.
Outcome	An entity that has the role of being the consequence of an exposure event. This is an abstract mixin grouping of various categories of possible biological or non-biological (e.g. clinical) outcomes
SubjectOfInvestigation	An entity that has the role of being studied in an investigation, study, or experiment
TangibleEssenceOrOccurrent	Either a physical or processual entity.
Occurrent	A processual entity that has temporal parts and happens, unfolds or develops through time. Occurrents have phases. generic:Occurrent is most consistently used as a mixin thus it should be declared as such and cannot inherit from the non-mixin generic:NamedThing
TangibleEssence	Semantic mixin concept. Pertains to entities that have tangible properties such as mass, volume, or charge.
ThingWithTaxon	A mixin that can be used on any entity that can be taxonomically classified. This includes individual entities, their products, and other operational entities and processes.
