sdg:namespace

sdg:namespace places a document in a namespace, scoping the surface forms it coins: the same abbreviation can be coined by different parts of an organisation as long as the coining documents sit in different namespaces. It is functional — a document belongs to at most one namespace — and it is declared rdfs:subPropertyOf sdg:hasLabel: a namespace is a specialization of a Label, so namespace scoping in term pickers is ordinary label filtering.

Namespaces are themselves documents: the object of sdg:namespace is the IRI of a published Namespace Definition (for example the demo's production-projects namespace). Pointing at an IRI no published document declares is a lexicon-reported problem ("unknown namespace").

Usage

  • Domain: any sd:Document. Range: a namespace document IRI. At most one per document.
  • Typically authored together with sdg:coins on documents that define organisational vocabulary.
