Detailed Description of Classes

Class `Aspect`

Aspect - This class represents Aspects of the Context.

CURIE: dcn:Aspect

sub-class-of: dcn:Context_Entity
super-class-of: dcn:DeliveryContext; dcn:Device; hard:HardwareComponent; net:Network; net:NetworkBearer; net:Proxy; soft:SoftwareAspect
in-domain-of: dcn:activeComponent; dcn:component
in-range-of: dcn:activeComponent; dcn:component; dcn:defaultComponent
normative-references: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-DDR-Simple-API-20081205/#aspect

Class `Associated_Entity` (Non Normative)

Associated Entity - This is the base class for associated entities in the ontology. Classes derived from this are not part of the delivery context. Rather, they provide information that could, for example, be used to help create normative documentation from the definitions for the delivery context.

CURIE: dcn:Associated_Entity

super-class-of: common:AllDisjointSet; common:NormativeStatus; common:TermGroup

Class `Context_Entity`

Context Entity - This is the base class for the entities that define the Context and particularly the Delivery Context.

CURIE: dcn:Context_Entity

super-class-of: dcn:Aspect; common:Context_CommonEntity; hard:Context_HardwareEntity; loc:Context_LocationEntity; net:Context_NetworkEntity; soft:Context_SoftwareEntity; dcn:DeliveryContext; dcn:Device; dcn:Environment

Class `DeliveryContext`

Delivery Context - This class represents the set of characteristics that describes the context in which materials are exchanged between a service and a device.

CURIE: dcn:DeliveryContext

sub-class-of: dcn:Context_Entity; dcn:Aspect
in-domain-of: dcn:currentDevice; dcn:currentEnvironment; dcn:currentNetworkBearer; dcn:currentRuntimeEnvironment; dcn:currentUserAgent; dcn:usablePixelsX; dcn:usablePixelsY

restrictions: hard:deviceHardware cardinality (1); hard:deviceHardware someValuesFrom (hard:DeviceHardware); soft:deviceSoftware someValuesFrom (soft:DeviceSoftware); soft:deviceSoftware cardinality (1); common:version maxCardinality (1); hard:bluetoothStatus allValuesFrom (hard:BluetoothStatus); common:soundMode allValuesFrom (common:SoundMode); common:model maxCardinality (1); common:vendor maxCardinality (1)

Class `Environment`

Environment - This class represents the physical environment in which an interaction takes place.

CURIE: dcn:Environment

sub-class-of: dcn:Context_Entity
in-domain-of: loc:currentLocation; loc:lastKnownLocation; net:presentNetworks
in-range-of: dcn:currentEnvironment
