Abstract
The Identifier Ontology models non-RDF based Identifiers for resources. The enables us to maintain a mapping between RDF resources identifiers and their equivalent IDs in an alternate, non-RDF based domain.Design Notes
Classes or instances that inherit from Identifiable can have Identifiers associated with them using the hasIdentifier property. The Authority is the domain or namespace that the identifier belongs to.
Overview Of Terms
An alphabetical index of the ontology terms, divided into classes, properties and individuals. All the terms are hyperlinked to their detailed description for quick reference.
Classes: | Identifiable | Identifier | Authority
Properties: | hasIdentifier | authority | value
