  • Task

Comments

  • This term is broader than the English word 'task,' which implies assignment, responsibility, or duty. In ordinary English going to a concert has a goal but is (generally) done for pleasure rather than out of obligation, and would not be considered a task, while according to the gist definition it is a task. The expansion of meaning is deliberate, so that anything that has a goal and can be specified by a task template is a task.
  • Something that could potentially be executed, which is merely described but not proposed in any specific way, such as a business process for onboarding a new employee, or the steps in a recipe for making polyethylene from ethylene, is not a task but rather a task template.
  • Use the property gist:isBasedOn to link a task back to the task template.

    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.'''
