#ChangeEvent ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

Represents an event which resulted in a major change to an organization such as a merger or complete restructuring. It is intended for situations where the resulting organization is sufficient distinct from the original organizations that it has a distinct identity and distinct URI. Extension vocabularies should define sub-classes of this to denote particular categories of event. The instant or interval at which the event occurred should be given by ‘prov:startAtTime` and `prov:endedAtTime`, a description should be given by `dct:description`.

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term)

#classification ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

Indicates a classification for this Organization within some classification scheme. Extension vocabularies may wish to specialize this property to have a range corresponding to a specific ‘skos:ConceptScheme`. This property is under discussion and may be revised or removed - in many cases organizations are best categorized by defining a sub-class hierarchy in an extension vocabulary.

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term)

#identifier ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

Gives an identifier, such as a company registration number, that can be used to used to uniquely identify the organization. Many different national and international identier schemes are available. The org ontology is neutral to which schemes are used. The particular identifier scheme should be indicated by the datatype of the identifier value. Using datatypes to distinguish the notation scheme used is consistent with recommended best practice for ‘skos:notation` of which this property is a specialization.

Returns:

end

#memberOf ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

Indicates that a person is a member of the Organization with no indication of the nature of that membership or the role played. Note that the choice of property name is not meant to limit the property to only formal membership arrangements, it is also indended to cover related concepts such as affilliation or other involvement in the organization. Extensions can specialize this relationship to indicate particular roles within the organization or more nuanced relationships to the organization. Has an optional inverse, ‘org:hasmember`.

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term)

# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 21

def Membership

end

#Organization ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

Represents a collection of people organized together into a community or other social, commercial or political structure. The group has some common purpose or reason for existence which goes beyond the set of people belonging to it and can act as an Agent. Organizations are often decomposable into hierarchical structures. It is recommended that SKOS lexical labels should be used to label the Organization. In particular ‘skos:prefLabel` for the primary (possibly legally recognized name), `skos:altLabel` for alternative names (trading names, colloquial names) and `skos:notation` to denote a code from a code list. Alternative names: Collective Body Org Group

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term)

def organization
  @organization
end

#OrganizationalCollaboration ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

A collaboration between two or more Organizations such as a project. It meets the criteria for being an Organization in that it has an identity and defining purpose independent of its particular members but is neither a formally recognized legal entity nor a sub-unit within some larger organization. Might typically have a shorter lifetime than the Organizations within it, but not necessarily. All members are ‘org:Organization`s rather than individuals and those Organizations can play particular roles within the venture. Alternative names: Project Venture Endeavour Consortium Endeavour

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term)

31
 
# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 29

def OrganizationalCollaboration
  @OrganizationalCollaboration
end

#OrganizationalUnit ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

An Organization such as a University Support Unit which is part of some larger FormalOrganization and only has full recognition within the context of that FormalOrganization, it is not a Legal Entity in its own right. Units can be large and complex containing other Units and even FormalOrganizations. Alternative names: OU Unit Department

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term) 


33
34

134
135
 
# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 133

def originalOrganization
  @originalOrganization
end

#Post ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

A Post represents some position within an organization that exists independently of the person or persons filling it. Posts may be used to represent situations where a person is a member of an organization ex officio (for example the Secretary of State for Scotland is part of UK Cabinet by virtue of being Secretary of State for Scotland, not as an individual person). A post can be held by multiple people and hence can be treated as a organization in its own right.

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term) 


37
38
39
 
# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 37

def Post

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term) 


137
138
139
 
# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 137

def postIn
  @postIn
end

#purpose ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

Indicates the purpose of this Organization. There can be many purposes at different levels of abstraction but the nature of an organization is to have a reason for existence and this property is a means to document that reason. An Organization may have multiple purposes. It is recommended that the purpose be denoted by a controlled term or code list, ideally a ‘skos:Concept`. However, the range is left open to allow for other types of descriptive schemes. It is expected that specializations or application profiles of this vocabulary will constrain the range of the purpose. Alternative names: remit responsibility (esp. if applied to OrganizationalUnits such as Government Departments).

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term) 


141
142
143
 
# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 141

def purpose
  @purpose
end

#remuneration ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

Indicates a salary or other reward associated with the role. Typically this will be denoted using an existing representation scheme such as ‘gr:PriceSpecification` but the range is left open to allow applications to specialize it (e.g. to remunerationInGBP).

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term) 


145
146
147
 
# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 145

def remuneration
  @remuneration
end

#reportsTo ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

Indicates a reporting relationship as might be depicted on an organizational chart. The precise semantics of the reporting relationship will vary by organization but is intended to encompass both direct supervisory relationships (e.g. carrying objective and salary setting authority) and more general reporting or accountability relationships (e.g. so called _dotted line_ reporting).

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term) 


149
150
151
 
# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 149

def reportsTo
  @reportsTo
end

#resultedFrom ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

Indicates an event which resulted in this organization. Inverse of ‘org:resultingOrganization`.

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term) 


153

# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 153

def resultedFrom
  @resultedFrom
end

#resultingOrganization ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

Indicates an organization which was created or changed as a result of the event. Inverse of ‘org:resultedFrom`.

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term) 


157
158
159
 
# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 157

def resultingOrganization
  @resultingOrganization
end

#Role ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

Denotes a role that a Person or other Agent can take in an organization. Instances of this class describe the abstract role; to denote a specific instance of a person playing that role in a specific organization use an instance of ‘org:Membership`. It is common for roles to be arranged in some taxonomic structure and we use SKOS to represent that. The normal SKOS lexical properties should be used when labelling the Role. Additional descriptive properties for the Role, such as a Salary band, may be added by extension vocabularies.

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term) 


41
42
43
 
# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 41

def Role

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term) 


161
162
163
 
# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 161

def role
  @role
end

#roleProperty ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

This is a metalevel property which is used to annotate an ‘org:Role` instance with a sub-property of `org:memberOf` that can be used to directly indicate the role for easy of query. The intended semantics is a Membership relation involving the Role implies the existence of a direct property relationship through an inference rule of the form: `{ [] org:member ?p; org:organization ?o; org:role [org:roleProperty ?r] } -> ?r ?o`.

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term) 


165
166
167
 
# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 165

def roleProperty
  @roleProperty
end

#Site ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

An office or other premise at which the organization is located. Many organizations are spread across multiple sites and many sites will host multiple locations. In most cases a Site will be a physical location. However, we don’t exclude the possibility of non-physical sites such as a virtual office with an associated post box and phone reception service. Extensions may provide subclasses to denote particular types of site.

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term) 


45

47
 
# File 'lib/rdf/vocab/org.rb', line 45

def Site
  @Site
end

#siteAddress ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

Indicates an address for the site in a suitable encoding. Use of vCard (using the www.w3.org/TR/vcard-rdf/ vocabulary) is encouraged but the range is left open to allow other encodings to be used. The address may include email, telephone, and geo-location information and is not restricted to a physical address.

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term)

def subOrganizationOf
  @subOrganizationOf
end

#transitiveSubOrganizationOf ⇒ RDF::Vocabulary::Term (readonly)

The transitive closure of subOrganizationOf, giving a representation of all organizations that contain this one. Note that technically this is a super property of the transitive closure so it could contain additional assertions but such usage is discouraged.

Returns:

  • (RDF::Vocabulary::Term)
