sub property of: note

imported from
type: AnnotationProperty
has close match: importedFrom
change note: 2020-12-15 Property has been added in order to replace pav:importedFrom. The difference between af-x:AFX_0002865 and pav:importedFrom is that the former is an annotation property whereas the latter is an object property. We added a new property in order to avoid issues of redeclaration of pav:importedFrom as annotation property. [Allotrope]

sub property of: note

derived from
type: AnnotationProperty
has close match: derivedFrom
definition: Derived from a different resource. [PAV]
note: 2020-12-15 Property has been added in order to replace pav:derivedFrom. The difference between af-x:AFX_0002866 and pav:derivedFrom is that the former is an annotation property whereas the latter is an object property. We added a new property in order to avoid issues of redeclaration of pav:derivedFrom as annotation property. [Allotrope]
sub property of: note

has polymorphic JSON schema
type: AnnotationProperty
definition: A shape that describes a facet by sh:qualifiedValueShape in an Allotrope Simple Model (ASM) shape library can be marked with this annotation property. The property controls how the facet is translated into a JSON schema for the property. By setting this property to true, the JSON schema behaves as in SHACL, allowing subclasses to be used, otherwise the class is used directly. [Allotrope]
example: The following shape defines a polymorphic "peak width" facet: af-s:AFS_0005312 a sh:PropertyShape ; sh:path af-x:AFX_0002803 ; # has facet sh:qualifiedValueShape [ sh:class af-r:AFR_0001075 ; # peak width af-x:AFX_0002874 true # generate polymorphic JSON schema ] ; sh:qualifiedMinCount 1 ; . It is translated to a JSON schema that allows one of "peak width at half height": {} "peak width at 5% height": {} "peak width at 10% height": {} "peak width at baseline" : {} If the 'has polymorphic JSON schema' annotation is false or unspecified, then only "peak width": {} is allowed and the JSON schema is more restrictive than the SHACL shape.
sub property of: note

example: A person's name denotes the person. [IAO]
example: A variable name in a computer program denotes some piece of memory. [IAO]

editorial note: This relation holds between a thing with a 'conduit' (e.g. a bone foramen) and a 'conduee' (for example, a nerve) such that at the time the relationship holds, the conduee has two ends sticking out either end of the conduit. It should therefore note be used for objects that move through the conduit but whose spatial extent does not span the passage. For example, it would not be used for a mountain that contains a long tunnel through which trains pass. Nor would we use it for a digestive tract and objects such as food that pass through. [RO]
