CLAROS Types

This page lists a number of CLAROS types (instances of CRM E55.Type) that exporting applications can assume to be defined.

RDF/XML

TODO: use rdf:value rather than rdfs:label to define identifying text strings, for consistency.

General

The facet type allows applications to identify those type values that can be used as a basis for narrowing down a search over objects (in the sense of "faceted browsing").

<crm:E55.Type rdf:about="http://purl.org/NET/Claros/vocab#Facet">

</crm:E55.Type>

Object types

  <rdfs:comment>
    Narrower types are kinds of object; e.g. pottery, gem, sculpture, etc.
