Examples

Value
An employee is assigned to a task by a supervisor. A person is assigned to a position.

Comments

  • For some assignments, such as the assignment of a person to a task, it may seem equally correct in ordinary speech to say it is an assignment of a task to a person. Since gist:isAssignmentTo and gist:isAssignmentOf have no formal domains or ranges, the choice of which predicate to use for which is left as an implementation decision. Consistency is a key consideration.
  • Based on the Open World Assumption, the assigner may not be asserted or known.

    comments:
    - This property is used to describe instance data which is not part of the ontology.
      A definition and a description have different semantics. Use skos:definition
      for a statement of the meaning of a thing and gist:description to describe a
      thing's attributes, characteristics, or features.
    examples:
    - value: A person does not have a definition, but might be described as being
        six feet tall with brown hair and blue eyes; an ontology class or taxonomy
        term has a definition.
    - value: '''The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in midtown
        Manhattan in New York City. It was designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon and built
        from 1930 to 1931.'''
