⚇ ddot.it Relations
Some relations are so commonly used, we suggest some standard names here:
| Name | Aliases | Semantics (A .. relation .. B) |
|---|---|---|
related | rel, is related | Undirected link connecting A and B. |
same as | is same as | A and B are referring to the same concept. |
is alias of | Like same as, but with a clear main concept.This is like a sym-link. | |
links to | link,see also | Directed, untyped link from A to B. Default link type when four dots ( ....) are used. |
has tag | tag | A has the tag B. Tags are not transitive. |
has type | type,is a | A has the type B. Like rdf:type. Types are inherited via has subtype. |
has subtype | subtype | The type A has a more specialised type B. Transitive relation. If it forms a cycle, all participants of the cycle are considered to be the same entity ( same as). |
prefix | – | When parsing a name like A:foo (starting with prefix an colon) the A: should be replaced by B. This is only needed for RDF processing. This processing is just a recommended way to interpret a ddot.it triple base. Not needed in non-RDF contexts. |
