Elements
The Description Content OP locally defines the following ontology elements:
Description (owl:Class) A description represents a conceptualization. It can be thought also as a descriptive context that defines concepts in order to see a relational context out of a set of data or observations. For example, a Plan is a description of some actions to be executed by agents in a certain way, with certain parameters; a diagnosis is a description that provides an interpretation to a set of observed entities, etc.
Concept (owl:Class) A concept can be an idea, notion, role, or even a reified class, and is defined in a description. Once defined, a concept can be used in other descriptions.
is defined in (owl:ObjectProperty) A relation between a description and a concept, e.g. a workflow for a governmental organization defines the role officer, or the Italian Traffic Law defines the role Vehicle. In order to be used, a concept must be previously defined in another description. The defines object property is its inverse.
is concept used in (owl:ObjectProperty) a more generic relation holding between a description and a concept. The uses concept object property is its inverse.
defines (owl:ObjectProperty) A relation between a Description and a Concept, e.g. a Workflow for a governmental Organization defines the Role 'officer', or 'the Italian Traffic Law defines the role Vehicle'. isDefinedIn is its inverse.
uses concept (owl:ObjectProperty) A generic relation holding between a Description and a Concept. In order to be used, a Concept must be previously defined in another Description. This last condition cannot be encoded for object properties in OWL.
