Introduction

In this topic an example will be given of a template for an Individual and one for a ClassOfIndividual, complete with a graph showing how they fit in the ISO 15926-2 model and complete with an indication how these templates can be validated with SHACL.

Diagrams

First two diagrams are shown:

The common top part

Any Template has two aspects:

• it is an N-ary relationship defined by a MultidimensionalObject and its classifying (and defining) ClassOfMultidimensionalObject ;
• it is a ClassOfInformationRepresentation that is classified with a ClassOfClassOfInformationRepresentation .

The latter is a subclass of three aspects:

• DocumentDefinition - generically defining the content and/or structure of the document. here the rules as per Part 8 clause 6 ;
• Language - RDF and RDFS ;
• RepresentationForm - Turtle and N-triple .

Note that OWL is not mentioned, since it appeared that OWL is not really suitable for massive triple storage. SPARQL will do the job here.

The signature part

As shown here the signature of a Template contains the variables of the 'lifted template'.
Any member of a template type has a signature with members of the classes in the signature of that template type.

SHACL validation

In the green part of the diagram it is schematically shown what the path is of a validation withSHACL.

The bottom part

In the bottom part the declaration code and the template code, that represent the contents of the diagram, is shown.
