This is an ontology to describe nanopublication templates, which can be published as nanopublications themselves. Nanopublication Template Ontology nt https://w3id.org/np/o/ntemplate/ has default provenance Indicates the default provenance template for a given assertion template. has required publication info element Indicates the template of a required publication info element for a given assertion template. has statement Connects an assertion template or a statement group within an assertion template to its included statements. has target namespace Refers to the namespace (URI prefix) in which the nanopublication should be created. has target nanopub type Refers to type (any URI) which will be assigned as Nanopub Type to all nanopublication created from the given template. possible value Indicates a possible value for a restricted-choice or guided-choice placeholder. possible values from Points to a nanopublication with possible values for a given restricted-choice or guided-choice placeholder. was created from provenance template Denotes that a nanopublication was created from the given provenance template. was created from publication info template Denotes that a nanopublication was created from the given publication info template. was created from template Denotes that a nanopublication was created from the given assertion template. has nanopub label pattern Assigns a label pattern that defines how the final nanopublication will be labeled, e.g. 'Thing: ${thing}' where '${thing}' is a placeholder for the content of placeholder 'thing'. has prefix Specifies a necessary URI prefix for a URI placeholder. has prefix label Specifies a label for the prefix part of a URI to be shown in the user interface. has regular expression Specifies a regular expression pattern restricting the possible values for the given placeholder. has tag Specifies a tag string that is used to group the templates in a user interface. possible values from API Specifies a URL pattern for an API to search for possible values for a guided-choice placeholder. statement order Specifies an integer value that defines the order in which statements appear. Nanopublication Assertion Template A template that describes the assertion of a nanopublication. Grouped Statement A statement that grouped and thereby includes several simple statements. Guided-Choice Placeholder A placeholder that stands for any URI (of a possible restricted set) and that comes with API-supported guidance on finding suitable URIs. Literal Placeholder A placeholder that stands for any RDF literal (of a possibly restricted set of possible literals). Local Resource A resource in a template that represents a local identifier to be minted. Long Literal Placeholder A placeholder that stands for an RDF literal that is expected to have a long value such that a bigger text field is convenient. Nanopublication Template A template that describes a part of a nanopublication. Optional Statement A statement that is optional. Placeholder A placeholder corresponding to an input component like a text field in a template. Provenance Template A template that describes the provenance of a nanopublication. Publication Info Template A template that describes the publication info of a nanopublication. Repeatable Statement A statement that can be repeated several times when the template is used. Restricted-Choice Placeholder A placeholder that stands for any URI of a pre-defined set of possible values. Sequence Element Placeholder A placeholder that stands for the RDF sequence element predicate 'http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#_1', '...#_2', etc. and thereby allows for the definition of lists when used in a repeatable statement. Template Statement A statement (simple or grouped) that is part of a template. Trusty URI Placeholder A placeholder that stands for any trusty URI (of a possibly restricted set). Unlisted Template A nanopublication template that is intended not to show up in template listings (but only to be used when explicitly referenced). URI Placeholder A placeholder that stands for any URI (of a possibly restricted set of URIs). Value Placeholder A placeholder that stands for any RDF value (of a possibly restricted set of values), including URIs and literals. ASSERTION This is a template reference to the assertion of the nanopublication to be created. CREATOR This is a template reference to the creator of the nanopublication. NANOPUB This is a template reference to the nanopublication to be created. Embedded Resource A resource in a template that represents a thing that is embedded (i.e. is referenced with 'npx:embeds' in the publication info of the nanopublications created from the template). In contrast to introduced resources, embedded resources are specific to the given nanopublication and a new embedded resource ID is minted upon superseding of the nanopublication. Introduced Resource A resource in a template that represents a thing that is introduced (i.e. is referenced with 'npx:introduces' in the publication info of the nanopublications created from the template). In contract to embedded resources, introduced resources retain the same ID in superseding nanopublications.
