abridges
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: abbreviates
definition: is a minimal expression that preserves, or allows to reconstruct by inference, all the concepts used by the target expression
note: The expression is 'minimal' in the sense that no fragment can be removed while still realizing the same knowledge asset.

compendiates
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: summarizes
definition: summarizes using a minimum number of fragments, and only uses concepts that are most closely related to the main subject

conforms with
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: is complemented by
definition: satisfies the constraints in the target resource
scope note: The compliant resource is supposed to be, expresses or carries some kind of specification.

effectuates
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: is complemented by
definition: is used in activities that generate entities of which the target resource is knowledge of
note: The knowledge of the products can be used to predict and validate what the products will look like.

imports
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: is supplemented by
sub property of: references
definition: 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

includes by reference
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: imports
domain: KnowledgeExpression
range: KnowledgeExpression
definition: imports a resource that is a necessary supplement, and expects that that resource is injected into itself
note: inclusions must be resolved, and the resolution of the dependency does not preserve the identity of the target resource

is adaptation of
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: isDerivedFrom
domain: KnowledgeAsset
range: KnowledgeAsset
definition: is a derivative that shares the same subject as the original, but is modified to facilitate the internalization by a certain class of agents

is complemented by
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: dependsOn
definition: optional dependency on a resource whose availability is beneficial

is compression of
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: abbreviates
definition: uses a minimal subset of the fragments and/or symbols of the target expression while trying to maximize the concepts used by both expressions

is digest of
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: summarizes
range: CompositeKnowledgeResource
definition: summarizes a composite resource having fragments that summarize each one of the components

is flattening of
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: isDerivedFrom
domain: BasicKnowledgeResource
range: CompositeKnowledgeResource
definition: is derived through the application of a flattening operator to a composite resource

is isomorphic variant of
type: ObjectProperty
type: SymmetricProperty
type: TransitiveProperty
sub property of: isVariantOf
domain: Class
  intersection of: CompositeKnowledgeResource
  intersection of: Class
    union of: KnowledgeArtifact
    union of: KnowledgeExpression
range: Class
  intersection of: CompositeKnowledgeResource
  intersection of: Class
    union of: KnowledgeArtifact
    union of: KnowledgeExpression
definition: has the same components, but a different configuration

is lossless compression of
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: is compression of
definition: compression that preserves all the concepts used by the target expression, or allows to reconstruct them by inference

is paraphrase of
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: isVariantOf
domain: Class
  union of: AbstractKnowledgeExpression
  union of: ConcreteKnowledgeExpression
range: Class
  union of: AbstractKnowledgeExpression
  union of: ConcreteKnowledgeExpression
definition: expresses the same knowledge asset using the same language (and/or serialization) but different terms and/or sentence structure
note: The abstract semantic graphs that are obtained from the parsing of the expressions are isomorphic.

is rearrangement of
type: ObjectProperty
type: SymmetricProperty
type: TransitiveProperty
sub property of: is isomorphic variant of
domain: Class
  intersection of: CompositeKnowledgeResource
  intersection of: Class
    union of: KnowledgeArtifact
    union of: KnowledgeExpression
range: Class
  intersection of: CompositeKnowledgeResource
  intersection of: Class
    union of: KnowledgeArtifact
    union of: KnowledgeExpression
definition: is derived by means of an operation that preserves the structural components, but alters the structure

is revision of
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: isDerivedFrom
domain: KnowledgeResource
range: KnowledgeResource
definition: is a derivative that is focused on parts of a knowledge resource whose interpretation may no longer hold
scope note: Tevised resources are often treated as new versions, but can also become new resources altogether.

is supplemented by
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: dependsOn
definition: dependency on a resource whose lack of availability is detrimental
note: Supplemental dependencies may be mandatory if their lack of availabliity makes the use of the depending resource impossible.

is transcodification of
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: isVariantOf
domain: EncodedKnowledgeExpression
range: EncodedKnowledgeExpression
definition: expresses the same knowledge asset using the same language, serialization, sentence structure, alphabet, but different encodings
scope note: The result can be used to relate compressed documents (e.g. ZIPped) and their decompressed counterparts.

is transcreation of
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: is adaptation of
domain: KnowledgeAsset
range: KnowledgeAsset
definition: adaptation that changes the formal semantics of some parts of the source asset

is transcription of
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: isVariantOf
domain: ConcreteKnowledgeExpression
range: ConcreteKnowledgeExpression
definition: expresses the same knowledge asset using the same language, but a different serialization

is translation of
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: isVariantOf
domain: AbstractKnowledgeExpression
range: AbstractKnowledgeExpression
definition: expresses the same knowledge asset using a different language

is transliteration of
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: isVariantOf
domain: ConcreteKnowledgeExpression
range: ConcreteKnowledgeExpression
definition: expresses the same knowledge using the same language, serialization, sentence structure, but a different alphabet

references
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: dependsOn
note: 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

summarizes
type: ObjectProperty
sub property of: abbreviates
domain: KnowledgeExpression
range: KnowledgeExpression
definition: uses a subset of the concepts of the target expression
