The https://www.omg.org/spec/API4KP/20210201/api4kp-rel.rdf version of this ontology was modified to leverage the Commons Ontology Library (API4KP-22), including replacement of references to Specification Metadata and references to LCC with the Commons Annotation Vocabulary and other Commons ontologies, and to reduce the dependency on DOL as appropriate.

is a minimal expression that preserves, or allows to reconstruct by inference, all the concepts used by the target expression
The expression is 'minimal' in the sense that no fragment can be removed while still realizing the same knowledge asset.
summarizes using a minimum number of fragments, and only uses concepts that are most closely related to the main subject
satisfies the constraints in the target resource
The compliant resource is supposed to be, expresses or carries some kind of specification.
is used in activities that generate entities of which the target resource is knowledge of
The knowledge of the products can be used to predict and validate what the products will look like.
references a (part of a) supplemental knowledge resource, with the expectation that some structuring operation is performed to resolve the dependency before this resource is used
imports a resource that is a necessary supplement, and expects that that resource is injected into itself
inclusions must be resolved, and the resolution of the dependency does not preserve the identity of the target resource
is a derivative that shares the same subject as the original, but is modified to facilitate the internalization by a certain class of agents
optional dependency on a resource whose availability is beneficial
uses a minimal subset of the fragments and/or symbols of the target expression while trying to maximize the concepts used by both expressions
summarizes a composite resource having fragments that summarize each one of the components
is derived through the application of a flattening operator to a composite resource
has the same components, but a different configuration
compression that preserves all the concepts used by the target expression, or allows to reconstruct them by inference
expresses the same knowledge asset using the same language (and/or serialization) but different terms and/or sentence structure
The abstract semantic graphs that are obtained from the parsing of the expressions are isomorphic.
is derived by means of an operation that preserves the structural components, but alters the structure
is a derivative that is focused on parts of a knowledge resource whose interpretation may no longer hold
Tevised resources are often treated as new versions, but can also become new resources altogether.
dependency on a resource whose lack of availability is detrimental
Supplemental dependencies may be mandatory if their lack of availabliity makes the use of the depending resource impossible.
expresses the same knowledge asset using the same language, serialization, sentence structure, alphabet, but different encodings
The result can be used to relate compressed documents (e.g. ZIPped) and their decompressed counterparts.
adaptation that changes the formal semantics of some parts of the source asset
expresses the same knowledge asset using the same language, but a different serialization
expresses the same knowledge asset using a different language
expresses the same knowledge using the same language, serialization, sentence structure, but a different alphabet
has at least one proper, identifiable part (e.g. concept, fragment) that is related to a (part of) a different knowledge resource, but not to (part of) the same resource
uses a subset of the concepts of the target expression
