The number property
This is one of InLOC's direct properties.
| Property name: | number |
|---|---|
| URI: | http://purl.org/net/inloc/number |
| Label: | decimal numeric property |
| Definition: | the level number or credit value, if appropriate |
| Property of: | LOCassociation |
| Value range: | decimal number, with the sense that a higher number is a more advanced level or greater credit |
Number considered alternatively as a property of object
In certain circumstances, it may be possible to regard number as a property of object rather than LOCassociation. This is possible only if
every LOCassociation with the same object.id either has the same number (if it is given) or has no defined number.
This is done for one version (the "optimised" one) of the RDF binding.
Interpretation
The meaning of the number property depends on the type of LOCassociation.
