This ontology extends the concept of a structured collection to include sets, lists, and collections whose elements are ordered chronologically or are indexed.

The https://www.omg.org/spec/Commons/20240801/Collections.rdf version of this ontology was modified to clarify the definition of list (COMMONS13-8) and replace the property hasConstituent with hasMember due to a semantics mismatch (COMMONS13-4).

An element is an object constituting part of a set, and can be a concept.
structured collection whose elements are ordered by time
Examples include simple schedules, bank statements, and other records that are ordered by time.
element of a collection that is ordered within a collection with respect to time
Note that the use of several options for the representation of a date and time stamp enables extensions for milliseconds, nanoseconds using an xsd:string that has the format of an xsd:dateTime datatype but extends the level of granularity consistently. An example of where this is required is to represent records that are ordered by date and time and security prices that change multiple times in a given day.
aspect of a collection or retrieval system indicating the address within a record, list, or document where that element can be found
An index may be an indirect shortcut derived from and pointing into, a collection of values, data, information or knowledge or a simple ordinal number.
For index values that are numeric, use hasNumericValue from the Commons Quantities and Units ontology to specify the value itself. For a more complex string-valued index, use hasTextValue from the Commons TextDatatype ontology to specify the value.
element of a collection that is ordered within that collection with respect to an index
system for indexing values, data, information, or knowledge
finite, linearly ordered collection of items, where the same item may occur more than once
assembly of distinct objects or concepts considered as a whole
