[Feature]: Define a concept (Class or Property)

Title

Define a concept (Class or Property)

Role/User Type

Data Producer, Data Steward, Data Modeller

Circumstance

A user needs to be able to describe a particular business concept in their ontology, with the later intention of semantically assigning this to data objects.

Goals

• Define a new Class or Property that describes a concept in their domain
• Incorporate it into a larger ontology

User Journey Steps

To describe a particular concept in the business domain, the user may consider using an existing ontology which captures the required concepts. In which case, this is handled by the ability to import existing ontologies.

Otherwise, the user will need to create a new concept, either a Class or a Property as appropriate.

Additionally, the user will need to be able to incorporate this new concept as part of a larger ontology, using subClassOf or subPropertyOf to establish that relationship.

In the case of a Property, they will need to be able to describe the domain and range of that property.

Additional Context or Reference

No response

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the repository’s existing ontology and ontology-import functionality to locate how concepts are represented. Done means users can define Classes and Properties, relate them with subclass or subproperty relationships, and specify a Property’s domain and range.
