Class names and definitions

Class name	Definition
cccev:EvidenceType	Information about the characteristics of an Evidence. Additional Information: The Evidence Type and the characteristics it describes are not concrete individual responses to a Requirement (i.e. Evidence), but descriptions about the desired form, content, source and/or other characteristics that an actual response should have and provide (e.g. membership of a class of Evidences).
cccev:EvidenceTypeList	Group of Evidence Types for conforming to a Requirement. Additional Information: An Evidence Type List is satisfied, if and only if, for all included Evidence Types in this List, corresponding conformant Evidence(s) are supporting the Requirement having this List. The Evidence Type List describes thus an AND condition on the different Evidence Types within the list and an OR condition between two or more Evidence Type Lists. Combinations of alternative Lists can be provided for a respondent of a Requirement to choose amongst them.
eli:LegalExpression	The intellectual realisation of a legal resource in the form of a "sequence of signs" (typically alpha-numeric characters in a legal context). For example, any version of the legal resource whose content is specified and different from others for any reason: language, versions, etc.; Note that ELI ontology accommodates different point of view on what should be considered a new legal resource, or a new legal expression of the same resource. Typically, a consolidated version can be viewed, in the context of ELI, either as separate legal resource (linked to original version and previous consolidated version using corresponding ELI relations), or as a different legal expression of the same legal resource.
eli:LegalResource	A work in a legislative corpus. This applies to acts that have been legally enacted (whether or not they are still in force). For example, the abstract concept of the legal resource; e.g. "act 3 of 2005" (adapted from Akoma Ntoso) A legal resource can represent a legal act or any component of a legal act, like an article. Legal resources can be linked together using properties defined in the model. Note that ELI ontology accommodates different point of view on what should be considered a new legal resource, or a new legal expression of the same resource. Typically, a consolidated version can be viewed, in the context of ELI, either as separate legal resource (linked to original version and previous consolidated version using corresponding ELI relations), or as a different legal expression of the same legal resource.
eli:LegalResourceSubdivision	A component of a legal act, at an arbitrary level of precision, like a chapter, an article, an alinea, a paragraph or an list item.
eli:Work	Any distinct intellectual creation (i.e., the intellectual content), in the context of ELI. The substance of Work is ideas.
epo-acc:ESPDRequest	An updated self-declaration used by the economic operator as a preliminary evidence in replacement of certificates issued by public authorities or third parties confirming that the economic operator fulfils the Exclusion Grounds and the Selection Criteria set out by the Buyer for a specific Procurement. WG Approval 05/03/2024

Predicates (object properties) and definitions

Predicate name	Definition	Domain, Range and Cardinality
adms:identifier	Links a resource to an adms:Identifier class. Links a resource to an adms:Identifier class.	cccev:EvidenceType -> adms:Identifier (external) [0..1] cccev:EvidenceTypeList -> adms:Identifier (external) [0..1]
cccev:hasEvidenceTypeList	Evidence Type List that specifies the Evidence Types that are needed to meet the Requirement. Additional Information: One or several Lists of Evidence Types can support a Requirement. At least one of them must be satisfied by the response to the Requirement.	cccev:Requirement (external) -> cccev:EvidenceTypeList [0..*]
cccev:isDerivedFrom	Reference Framework on which the Requirement is based, such as a law or regulation. Additional Information: The relation between a parent Requirement and a sub-Requirement can be complex. Therefore, qualified relations (see hasQualifiedRelation) can be used to represent this relationship on its own and qualify it with additional information such as a date, a place. This is left to implementers. In the case where the purpose is to link the two Requirements without additional information, the simple relationship as proposed here can be directly used.	cccev:Requirement (external) -> eli:LegalResource []
cccev:specifiesEvidenceType	Evidence Type included in this Evidence Type List.	cccev:EvidenceTypeList -> cccev:EvidenceType [0..*]
cccev:validityPeriodConstraint	Temporal condition on the validity period of the Evidence Type. Additional Information: E.g. A Belgian birth evidence is valid for X months after emission. To express constraints on the validity period that must hold when assessing the evidence (e.g. the certificate of good conduct cannot be issued more than 3 months ago), we refer to the Constraint class.	cccev:EvidenceType -> epo:Period (external) [0..*]
dct:conformsTo	An established standard to which the described resource conforms. Additional Information: Examples of characteristics could be the layout or the configuration of the Evidence.	cccev:Evidence (external) -> cccev:EvidenceType [0..*]
dct:isPartOf	A related resource in which the described resource is physically or logically included.	eli:Work -> eli:Work [0..*]
dct:language	A language of the resource.	eli:LegalExpression -> at-voc:language (external) [1..*]
eli:is_realized_by	Relates a work to an expression of this work in the form of a "sequence of signs" (typically alpha-numeric characters in a legal context). Inverse of "realizes".	eli:LegalExpression -> eli:Work [1]
eli:jurisdiction	The jurisdiction from which the legal resource originates. The place identifier can be taken from the Administrative Territorial Unit table published of the EU Publications Office at https://op.europa.eu/en/web/eu-vocabularies/at-dataset/-/resource/dataset/atu. Member States don't have to recreate their own list of values. The jurisdiction from which the legal resource originates.
