— Linked DGIF vocabulary

Association — association

One association of the DGIF model between a start and an end type (BuildingReligiousInfo): rdfs:subPropertyOf its role, with those types as domain and range.

Attribute — attribute

An entry of the DGFCD attribute dictionary, identified by its three- or four-character 531 code. Its range is its value class (attribute/{code}#values, closed with owl:oneOf) or an XSD datatype.

FeatureType — feature type

A feature type of the DGIF model (stereotype featureType): an abstraction of a real-world phenomenon with a geometry.

Pattern — pattern

A feature type and the attribute values an entity must have: the parsed form of an RWOI term's OCL for one entity. A term with one pattern is also rdfs:subClassOf the type and of owl:hasValue restrictions; one with several patterns (e.g. a Building and its ReligiousInfo) has the patterns only.

RealWorldObject — Real World Object Index term

A term of the DGFCD Real World Object Index (RWOI), defined by an OCL invariant over feature types and attribute values.

Role — association role

An association end name (hasAmenity, sourceInfoDescribedBy), shared by many associations; its domain and range are the most specific common supertypes of theirs.

Type — type

A non-feature type of the DGIF model (stereotype type, e.g. AddressInfo, ActorEntity).

allowedFor — allowed for

From a value to each type whose enumeration allows it; the other direction is the owl:allValuesFrom restriction on the type.

baseline — baseline

The DGIF baseline a document describes (2026-1). The plain URI describes the latest; an older baseline is a memento at ?version=.

conceptSource — concept source

The authority the DGIF model names as the source of a concept, verbatim (DFDD, NFDD 5.0, IPHG, DGIWG, a nation's code). It is about the concept; dcterms:source, on the documents, names the model the description comes from.

condition — condition

An attribute and the value the entity must have for it.

datatype — datatype

The DGIF datatype name, verbatim (Enumeration, Real, AccessZone_structMatTypeMeta).

featureType — feature type

The type the entity is a kind of (oclIsKindOf), or the type the OCL names it by.

geometry — geometry

The geometry of the OSM features a row of mapping/osm is for: point, line or polygon. The Swiss table maps some tags differently by geometry (amenity=car_wash: a point is a Building, an area a Facility).

geometryType — geometry type

A geometry a feature type may have in the DGIF model: point, multipoint, curve, multicurve, surface, multisurface, solid, multisolid (the model's P, MP, C, MC, S, MS, So, MSo).

mapping — mapping

From a type or a value to each row of a mapping set (mapping/adv, mapping/osm) that names it. The row is an owl:Axiom, as SSSOM's RDF has it: its source, SKOS predicate and target are stated about it, never asserted between the concepts.

memento — memento

From a TimeMap ({path}/timemap) to the memento of each baseline that has the resource.

mementoDatetime — memento datetime

The Memento-Datetime of a baseline's memento: midnight UTC of the newest acceptance date of any concept in its model. DGIWG publishes no release dates.

multiplicity — multiplicity

UML multiplicity of the association end as the model gives it (0..*, 0..1); also stated as OWL cardinality restrictions on the start type.

name — model name

The camel-case name the DGIF model and its OCL use (Building, functionalUse, industrial).

objectCondition — object condition

Narrows the other side of a mapping row: an attribute of the other vocabulary (vocab:onAttribute) and the code it must have (vocab:value), e.g. vegetationsmerkmal = 1100 Laubholz on AX_Wald.

ocl — OCL

The OCL invariant defining an RWOI term, verbatim from the model.

oclUnparsed — unparsed OCL clause

A clause of the OCL this wrapper could not parse or whose names do not resolve to DGFCD codes. Its meaning is missing from the patterns.

onAttribute — on attribute

The attribute a pattern or mapping condition is about: a DGIF attribute, or on the other side of a mapping, an attribute of the other vocabulary (an AAA attribute).

pattern — pattern

physicalQuantity — physical quantity

The physical quantity a measured attribute's values are of, as the DGIF model names it (length, planeAngle, speed).

recommendedUnit — recommended unit

The unit of measure the DGIF model recommends for an attribute: a blank node with rdfs:label (Metre) and qudt:symbol (m).

rwoiTerm — RWOI term

From a type or value to each RWOI term whose OCL names it.

status — status

The status the DGIF model gives a concept or type, verbatim: valid or notValid (the model's list also has superseded and retired, which no baseline uses).

subjectCondition — subject condition

Narrows the DGIF side of a mapping row: an attribute (vocab:onAttribute) and the value (vocab:value) the type must have. The row's predicate relates the narrowed sides.

usedBy — used by

From an attribute to each type that carries it.

value — value

The required value: a value concept, or a boolean literal for a Boolean attribute.
