Slots

Name Cardinality and Range Description Inheritance
id 1
Uriorcurie
Unique identifier (IRI/URL) for this resource. In JSON-LD, @id represents the globally unique identifier. (Maps to @id; the identifier slot is bound to @id by gen-jsonld-context.) Thing
identifier 0..1 recommended
String
Primary persistent identifier for this resource (e.g., DOI, Handle, ARK, or persistent URL). Can be a simple string or PropertyValue object. Thing
name 0..1
String
Title or name of the digital object, page, or resource. Thing
description 0..1
String
Brief description of the data. For datasets: what is included (variables, measurements), method/origin. For software: what it does, access requirements, supported languages. Thing
url 0..1
Uri
URL to the website that contains and/or describes the digital object or person. Thing
sameAs 0..1
Uri
URL of a reference web page that unambiguously indicates the item's identity (e.g., ORCID profile, Wikidata entry). NOTE: deliberately NOT mapped to dcat:landingPage — although CreativeWork populates sameAs from the landing page, this is a generic Thing slot (a Person's sameAs is an ORCID, not a landing page), so the landing-page equivalence is builder behavior, not a slot-level fact.
