The {{Class}} template can be used to define ontology classes.

Usage

{{Class 
| rdfs:label         =
| rdfs:comment       =
| rdfs:subClassOf    = 
| specificProperties =
}}

Meanings

  • rdfs:label: should be defined to provide a human-readable version of a property's name.
  • rdfs:label@en: should be defined to provide a human-readable version of a property's name in English.
  • rdfs:comment: should be defined to provide a human-readable description of a property.
  • rdfs:comment@en: should be defined to provide a human-readable description of a property in English.
  • rdfs:subClassOf: is used to state that all the instances of one class are instances of another.
  • specificProperties: refine property units for this class using SpecificProperty template.

Example

The definition of the DBpedia ontology class Artist:

{{Class
| rdfs:label      = Artist
| rdfs:comment    =
| rdfs:subClassOf = Person
}}

It will be rendered to this table: This is the definition of an ontology class.
