instanceOf

#ontology (Private)

  • alsoKnownAs isA, is a, is an instance of the class
  • hasDomain resources:
  • hasRange Class
  • equivalentPredicate rdf:type
  • inverseOf ???
    • [-] important thing to have a name for, maybe "hasInstance" or classOf
      • maybe not so important, when do classes need to refer to their instances? backlinks provides inventory
    • sometimes things (topics primarily/only) can be classes, without being Classes.

instanceOf Discussion

  • changed because
    • "instanceOf" underscores that the subject is not a Class
      • t.2024.03.18.16 unless it's an instanceOf a class
    • it feels like, colloquially, "type" is ambiguous between hasType and isTypeOf; the latter can mean something more like subClassOf
  • isA is nice and compact, but maybe feels ambiguous for classes, e.g. "[a] digital garden is a website"
