Path¶
Definition¶
Paths are used to formally model or express some fact from the real world. A Path is a sequence of RDF classes and properties that are usually defined in an ontology. E.g. the following path models the fact that a person may have a name using classes and properties from the CIDOC CRM ontology.
crm:E21_Person → crm:P1_is_identified_by → crm:E41_Appellation
A path can have a concrete instantiation that expresses this fact for a particular individual. In most cases these concrete instantiations carry some value at the end of the path, which are appended to the path using OWL datatype properties.
In the Pathbuilder Paths can be grouped together to form Groups. WissKI then translates these Paths into the Drupal equivalents of Bundles and Fields.
