How it works¶

Four schemas, each building on the one before, are enough to show every mechanism in this library. The notation itself is specified in the OO-LD specification; this page is about what the schemas here do with it. Read them in order and you will have seen how one document carries structure and meaning at once, how a second community reading is added without touching the data, and what a subschema costs.

The widgets below are the same ones the modules pages use, rendered from the schemas themselves. Nothing here is retyped, so nothing here can go stale.

QuantityValue¶

QuantityValue is a number, a unit, and optionally the uncertainty of the number. Everything else in the library reuses it, so it is worth reading closely: if this one is awkward, the awkwardness spreads everywhere.

Five tabs, one source. Terms is the schema read as a vocabulary: every term, what constrains it, what it means in the consensus reading, and what each community calls it instead. JSON and YAML are the schema itself. Instance is a document that validates against it. RDF is that same document expanded to triples, with a selector for the mapping set, which is the whole point of the exercise: one file, several readings.

Look at the unit row in the Terms tab. The property maps to qudt:hasUnit, and underneath it sit the permitted values, each mapping to a unit individual of its own. That two-level structure is what lets a community rename both the property and the units it points at.

Notes for implementers

Examples sit at the schema root, not on individual properties. A root-level examples entry is a whole example instance, which is what the keyword is for, and it is what the documentation and the generated instance tab use. It also avoids oold-schema#134: the validator's depth guard truncates anything below six levels, so a per-property examples becomes {} once a schema is three inheritance levels deep, and a valid schema is reported as invalid.

type declares @container: @set. A strictly array-typed property without it comes back from RDF as a scalar when it holds a single element, and then fails its own schema.

Time: constraining the units¶

Time restricts QuantityValue to time units. It is the pattern every quantity kind follows.

Not the same as the time module

This is the quantity kind Time: a duration with a unit. The time module is about process time, that is temporal regions, process start and end, and temporalized qualities. Upstream ontologies use the same word for both, so mapping one onto the other is a mistake that is easy to make and hard to notice.

The subclass adds four things and inherits everything else:

A more specific class term. Time maps to the QUDT quantity kind qkind:Time, with EMMO's ISQ Time class as a synonym. QUDT models quantity kinds as individuals, so typing an instance with one is punning, the same question EMMO faces for units. It is harmless for data exchange and left to the ontologies to settle.
Unit individuals as context terms. SEC, MilliSEC and HR are declared in the @context, which is what makes them aliasable at all.
An enum and a default. The enum pins the valid units, which also guards the @vocab coercion inherited from QuantityValue: without it, a typo would be silently minted into an IRI under the vocabulary base. The default is the SI unit.
Value-level aliases. Each unit term carries its EMMO and UO counterparts, so a community reading resolves the unit itself, not just the property pointing at it.

In the Terms tab this is visible as two sections: everything inherited from QuantityValue, then what Time overrides. The class row sits under type, because that is what it is, the default value of type resolved through a type alias, not a field of its own.

Reading the three graphs¶

Switch the mapping set in the RDF tab. Those are three readings of one unchanged instance file.

The consensus reading types the node with the QUDT quantity kind and uses qudt:value and qudt:hasUnit. The emmo reading swaps in EMMO's ISQ Time class, hasReferencePart, the EMMO standardUncertainty data property, and, at value level, emmo:Second for the unit itself. The pmdco reading uses obo:OBI_0001937 for the value and obo:IAO_0000039 with the UO second.

The fallbacks are the honest part. EMMO has no term that a flat value can map to, so that triple stays qudt:value; PMDco has no quantity-kind class for the type and no uncertainty property, so those stay on the consensus mapping. A partial alignment remains usable, and it is visible exactly where a community has nothing to offer.

CI checks every reading for a lossless round-trip, so a mapping that drops or mangles a term fails the build rather than shipping quietly.

Length: the same pattern again¶

Length repeats the pattern for another quantity kind, which is the point: the second one costs nothing new to design.

It adds a class term mapping to qkind:Length, a unit enum that pins the valid length units and guards the inherited @vocab coercion, the SI unit as default so an instance may omit unit entirely, and a value term per unit so each one is aliasable per community. With four permitted units the Terms tab collapses them behind a toggle rather than pushing the properties out of view.

Note how little it declares. The units, their aliases, the value and uncertainty terms and every mapping on them come from Length and QuantityValue; Diameter only narrows the class term and the example. That is the point of the chain: a new quantity costs a handful of lines, and it inherits a validated mapping set rather than restating one.

Where to go next¶

Modules lists every schema with the same five tabs.
Mapping sets covers the tiering mechanism in general.
Mapping sets has the SSSOM exports and the derived crosswalks.
Versions and identifiers says what you can pin and what a bump means.
Contributing is the other side: where to edit and how versions are set.
