URI: schema:encodingFormat

Applicable Classes¶

Name	Description	Modifies Slot
DataDownload	A distribution of a dataset, modeled as an access point: the landing page is its dcat:accessURL (and schema:url). It does not link a direct file (no contentUrl/downloadURL), so it is deliberately not a schema:DataDownload. encodingFormat/mediaType describe the data available through it. Anonymous (no identifier) — projects as an inlined blank node (PropertyValue/Location precedent); the media-type IRI is a value (mediaType), not the node's identity.	no
SoftwareApplication	A software application (type-or-record 2). `rights` is inherited from CreativeWork.	yes
Dashboard	A dashboard (type-or-record 6). Emits as schema:SoftwareApplication with applicationCategory="Dashboard" set at runtime; no additional slots.	no
