Thing
A broad tangible or conceptual thing with a name and description.
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 name of the thing. schema.org/name |
description |
string | optional | A short description of the thing. schema.org/description |
sameAs |
string[] | optional | Canonical URLs that identify the same thing. schema.org/sameAs |
The canonical shape
What a Thing atom's data looks like. These exact bytes are what calculateAtomId hashes — shared shape is shared identity.
{
"@context": "https://schema.org/",
"@type": "Thing",
"name": "Apple",
"description": "A round fruit with red or green skin.",
"sameAs": [
"https://example.com/canonical"
]
}
import { buildAtomData } from "@0xintuition/classifications";
import { calculateAtomId } from "@0xintuition/ids";
const atomData = buildAtomData("thing", {
name: "Apple",
description: "A round fruit with red or green skin.",
});
// deterministic — same bytes, same ID, offchain and on
const atomId = calculateAtomId(atomData);
What a Thing 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.
Enrichment
Paste a bare reference and the enrichment engine fills a Thing in from its sources (default pipeline: thing) — titles, canonical sameAs URLs, and the fields above, merged onto the same deterministic atom.
