Introduction

The Multi-Tenant Configuration Schema provides

Changes From Previous Version

2009-05-13 - semantic change by Rob Styles: "First draft of the ontology published"

Namespace

The URI for this vocabulary is

http://purl.org/vocab/multi-tenant-configuration/schema#

When used in XML documents the suggested prefix is multi-tenant

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

#customer
#Customer

The term name for a class always starts with an uppercase character. Where the term name is comprised of multiple concatenated words, the leading character of each word will be an uppercase character. For example:

Customer
Tenancy

The term name for a property always starts with an lowercase character. Where the term name is comprised of multiple concatenated words, the leading character of the second and each subsequent word will be an uppercase character. For example:

customer
tenancy

Summary of Terms

This vocabulary defines 6 classes and 11 properties .

Term Name	Type	Definition
Customer	class	A customer represents your customer. They may have zero or more tenancies. We need to consider how this class relates to foaf:Agent and possibly other ontologies describing CRM models.
Feature	class	You can describe features within your own namespace, relating them to different subscription levels.
Subscription	class	Subscription resources track the periods for which a customer has subscribed to the service and at what subscription level.
SubscriptionLevel	class	Subscription Level resources allow your application to tailor its feature set based on subscription levels you define within your own namespace.
Tenancy	class	A tenancy represents the area or part of the service that is owned by a particular customer. A customer may own more than one tenancy.
TenancyType	class	Tenancy Types allow the tenancies of different systems to be distinguished within a single graph. You should define a tenancy type within your own namespace for each multi-tenant application you are describing tenancies for.
allowedFeature	property	A feature that is allowed for subscriptions at this subscription level. This allows for a white-listing approach to feature control.
createdAt	property	The date on which the tenancy was created. Managing this allows multiple tenancies to be displayed in time order.
customer	property	The customer property links a Tenancy with the Customer who owns it.
disallowedFeature	property	A feature that is not allowed for subscriptions at this subscription level. This allows for a black-listing approach to feature control.
enabled	property	A simple boolean value that allows a tenancy to be enabled or disabled entirely.
subscription	property	A subscription that enables the use of this tenancy.
subscriptionLevel	property	The level at which the customer has subscribed to this tenancy.
tenancy	property	The tenancy property links a Customer with the tenancies they own.
tenancyType	property	The type of tenancy this resource describes.
validFrom	property	The date from which a subscription is valid.
validUntil	property	The date on which a subscription expires.
