Classes and Properties (full detail)

Classes

Class: eduprogression:Course

Cours - In the French educational system, skills that students are expected to develop, are defined by cycle and each cycle is organized into course.

Status:	stable
Used with:	hasCourse
Sub class of	owl:Thing

OWL Class

Class: eduprogression:EKS

Element de connaissances et de competences - An element of knowledge and skills is an instance of this class and it is associated to a set of knowledge pieces (class Knowledge) and skills (class Skill) for a specific French school cycle (class Course) containing reference points (class PointOfReference) and also a vocabulary of associated terms (class Vocabulary).

Status:	stable
Properties include:	hasKnowledge hasSkill hasVocabularyItem hasCourse hasPointOfReference

Sub class of	owl:Thing

OWL Class

[#] [back to top]

Class: eduprogression:Knowledge

Knowledge - It is represented by class Knowledge and each of its instances is a skos:Concept that is part of a skos:ConceptScheme that contains all the knowledge pieces of a given progression. An instance of EKS is related to an instance of Knowledge through property hasKnowledge.

Status:	stable
Used with:	hasKnowledge
Sub class of	owl:Thing

OWL Class

Class: eduprogression:LearningDomain

Domaine d'enseignement - A learning domain is represented by an instance of the LearningDomain class, and it is also an instance of skos:Concept that is part of (only) one skos:ConceptScheme containing the only learning domains of a progression. Also, as they are SKOS concepts, learning domains are hierarchically structured by using the skos:broader and/or skos:narrower properties. A learning domain can be associated to a Progression or to an EKS.

Status:	stable
Used with:	hasLearningDomain
Sub class of	owl:Thing

OWL Class

Class: eduprogression:PointOfReference

Point of reference - An instance of class PointOfReference represents an educational reference element on a specific element of knowledge and skills (an instance of EKS). An instance of EKS is related to an instance of class PointOfReference through the property hasPointOfReference.

Status:	stable
Sub class of	owl:Thing

OWL Class

Class: eduprogression:Progression

Progression - A progression is represented by an instance of class Progression. It can be further described by using the Dublin Core or RDFS vocabularies. A progression can be associated to an existing learning domain (through the hasLearningDomain property) and to one or several EKSs (through the hasEKS property).

Status:	stable
Properties include:	hasEKS

Class: eduprogression:Skill
