Object and link types
Object and link types are the structural heart of the ontology.
What belongs here
This section covers the same broad concerns seen in mature ontology platforms:
- object type definitions
- property design
- shared properties
- structs and compositional types
- link definitions
- value types and reusable semantic primitives
- metadata and render semantics
OpenFoundry mapping
The nearest current building blocks are:
proto/ontology/object.protoproto/ontology/ontology.protoservices/ontology-serviceservices/geospatial-service
Design direction
For OpenFoundry, object and link types should become the common contract used by:
- search and query surfaces
- maps and graph experiences
- actions and workflows
- AI retrieval and semantic context
