Namespace

The URI for this vocabulary is

http://purl.org/vocab/changeset/schema#

When abbreviating terms the suggested prefix is cs

Each class or property in the vocabulary has a URI constructed by appending a term name to the vocabulary URI. For example:

http://purl.org/vocab/changeset/schema#precedingChangeSet

Terms Summary

An alphabetical list of all terms defined in this schema.

Properties and Classes

ChangeSet

URI: http://purl.org/vocab/changeset/schema#ChangeSet

The encapsulation of a delta between two versions of a resource description

Semantics

Being a member of this class implies also being a member of a class that is the intersection of a class that has at least 1 Statement property and a class that has at most 1 cs:previousChangeSet property and a class that has at most 1 SubjectOfChange property and a class that has at most 1 CreatedDate property and a class that has at most 1 CreatorName property and a class that has at most 1 ChangeReason property. Having Statement, Addition, Removal, SubjectOfChange, PrecedingChangeSet, CreatedDate, ChangeReason or CreatorName implies being a member of this class. Things are a member of this class if they are the value of PrecedingChangeSet.

PrecedingChangeSet

URI: http://purl.org/vocab/changeset/schema#precedingChangeSet

This property can be used to build a history of changes to a particular resource description. The first ChangeSet in the history will have no precedingChangeSet property. Each subsequent ChangeSet added to the history references the preceding one resulting in a singly-linked list of changes. Care must be taken not to introduce cycles in the history.

Semantics

Having this property implies being a ChangeSet. Every value of this property is a ChangeSet.
