Defined Term

A dictionary-style defined term with a short description.

Entity schema.org/DefinedTerm defined-term

Fields

1 required · 2 recommended. Every field points at its schema.org property — the definition lives in one place, so nothing drifts. The full inherited superset stays available through @0xintuition/schema-org.

Field	Type		Description
`name`	string	required	The defined term name. schema.org/name
`description`	string	optional	The meaning or definition of the term. schema.org/description
`sameAs`	string[]	optional	Canonical URLs that identify the same defined term. schema.org/sameAs

The canonical shape

What a Defined Term atom's data looks like. These exact bytes are what calculateAtomId hashes — shared shape is shared identity.

What a Defined Term can say

The recommended triple vocabulary for this classification — each row is a claim shape the graph already understands, with the kind of atom expected on the other end.

Defined Term — has description → string value enshrined

Defined Term — same as → another Defined Term enshrined

Defined Term — url → url value enshrined

Defined Term — has category → Defined Term enshrined

Defined Term — has tag → Defined Term enshrined
