Class:OWL

The Class:owl template contains definitions, descriptions, and ontology characteristics according to the ontology diagrams which contain it. This content is synchronized at close of the diagram.

In the future, when there will be a rdf/owl (and possibly turtle and json) loader from text source defining ontologies, these properties will be filled automatically, and the ontology diagram will also be generated.

 

A class is described with:

  • Other classes it could be Equivalent to
  • A Short description

It can be:

  • A Thing
  • An owl class
  • a rdfs Class
  • a Resource
  • a deprecated Class

These five options determine the appearance of the class in the diagram.

When participating to a complement rule, the classes which the class is Complement for are listed here.
