Create a property
Property creation is already guarded by basic semantic validation in ontology-service.
Current request shape
Based on CreatePropertyRequest in services/ontology-service/src/models/property.rs, OpenFoundry currently supports:
| Field | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
name | yes | stable property identifier |
display_name | no | user-facing label |
description | no | semantic meaning |
property_type | yes | value kind |
required | no | mandatory or optional |
unique_constraint | no | uniqueness semantics |
time_dependent | no | time-aware behavior |
default_value | no | initial value |
validation_rules | no | additional validation metadata |
Current validation flow
At creation time the handler currently validates:
- non-empty property name
- allowed property type through
validate_property_type - default value compatibility through
validate_property_value
Why this matters
That means OpenFoundry is already moving beyond blind schema insertion and treating properties as semantic constructs with typed behavior.
