Simple atomic properties

(part of the InLOC Information Model, a subset of InLOC's direct properties)

These properties of LOCdefinition and LOCstructure have values that have no pre-defined internal structure. The human language ones can have multilingual versions. The single value in the case of furtherInformation may in fact be very complex, but that complexity has no regular defined structure, so it has no standard treatment other than as a single value. Where a property has clear component parts, InLOC treats it instead as a LOCassociation.

For definitions and explanation of these, please follow the links in the list here.

• language
• id
• extraID
• title
• abbr
• description
• furtherInformation
• rights
• dates:
  • created
  • modified
  • issued
  • validityStart
  • validityEnd
• version

One further simple atomic property exists only in LOCstructure instances:

• combinationRules

and one further simple atomic property exists only in LOCdefinition instances:

• primaryStructure.

The DCMI terms identifier, title, created and modified (as well as other dates) all have the range class "literal", which makes them ideal as simple, atomic properties.
