Classes

Name	Description	Datatype properties	Object properties	Subclass of
Activity	This class comprises actions intentionally carried out by instances of Actor that result in changes of state in physical and conceptual objects.	endDateTime , id , name , startDateTime	hasParticipant , refersToConceptualObject , refersToPhysicalObject , takesPlaceAt
Actor	This class comprises organization or people, either individually or in groups, who have the potential to perform intentional actions of kinds for which someone may be held responsible.	id , name	participatesIn , relatedToPlace
Address	This class describes the legal address of places.	street , houseNumber , postalCode , city , country		ConceptualObject
ConceptualObject	This class includes non-material products, human-produced data related to physical objects. The production of such information may have been supported by the use of technical tools.	id , name	describesPhysicalObject , involvedIn
PhysicalObject	This class includes objects of a material nature, which are documentation units and have physical boundaries.	id , name	describedByConceptualObject , involvedIn
Place	The class Place is determined by reference to the position of objects such as buildings, cities, or special geographic markers.	id , name	hasAddress , hosts
