Class: OntologyClass

A concept or class in an ontology, vocabulary or thesaurus. Note that nodes in a ucs compatible KG can be considered both instances of ucs classes, and OWL classes in their own right. In general you should not need to use this class directly. Instead, use the appropriate ucs class, i.e. cso:ComputationalProcess

Comments

  • This is modeled as a mixin. 'ontology class' should not be the primary type of a node in the KG. Instead you should use an informative ucs category.
  • Note that formally this is a metaclass. Instances of this class are instances in the graph, but can be the object of 'type' edges.
