Class names and definitions

Class name Definition
adms:Identifier A character string to identify and distinguish uniquely, one instance of an object in an identification scheme from all other objects in the same scheme together with relevant supplementary information.
cccev:Constraint Limitation applied to an Information Concept. Additional Information: Constraints are Requirements in themselves, since they impose prerequisites which influence the definition, use and/or Fulfilment of the Requirement. They represent hard conditions such as minimum or maximum expressions which can be used to evaluate pieces of information, the required age, income, involvement in activities, etc. An example from the eProcurement domain is a threshold as the minimum turnover required by the buying Organisation to select the Candidates. Note that CCCEV does not provide any specific guidance on when which kind of Requirement should be used. Users of this vocabulary should make decisions on this topic in their specific context.
cccev:Criterion Condition for evaluation or assessment. Additional Information: In general, Criteria are used for comparison, filtering or Selection purposes. Criteria usually set minimum conditions (e.g. limits, intervals, thresholds, etc.) that need to be met in order to pass the Requirements or to fulfil them to a certain degree or quality. The concept of Criteria is broader than the concept of Constraint since it covers more usages. The evaluation of the fulfilment is usually supported by the provision of Evidence. For example in the eProcurement domain, the eProcurement Ontology defines different subclasses of Criterion such as Exclusion Grounds, Selection Criteria or Award Criteria. A concrete example of a Criterion is 'participation in a criminal organisation' which could also be considered as an Exclusion Ground Criterion in the procurement domain or for requiring a public service.
cccev:Evidence Proof that a Requirement is met. Additional Information: The class Evidence provides the means to support responses to Criteria or to a concrete Information Requirement or to an Information Concept inside an Information Requirement. The proof described by an Evidence can [1] verify a claim (i.e. is it true that John is 25, yes/no), [2] prove a condition (i.e. is John 18+, yes/no), or [3] simply provide data (i.e. the age of a person, namely 25). The proof can be given through documents or extracts of base registries, independently from its structure, format or medium used to exchange it: a pdf document, a video, a recording, etc.
cccev:InformationConcept Piece of information that the Evidence provides or the Requirement needs. Additional Information: The Information Concept class offers the ability to describe conceptually the Requirements and provided facts in Evidences. In complementarity with the Supported Value class, this is a (first) step towards facilitating the assessment of the requirements in an automated way based on the Evidence provided.
cccev:InformationRequirement Requested data that is to be proven by Evidence. Additional Information: Information Requirements are the most neutral kind of Requirements. They aim to request information in any form, e.g. a person's date of birth or a company's turnover. They represent requests for data that prove one or more facts of the real world in a formal manner, or that leads to the source of such a proof. They can be understood as 'requests for Evidences'. The response to an Information Requirement is an Evidence when the issuer of the response is an authoritative source (e.g. a Civil Registry providing data about a natural person for the provision of public service through the Single Digital Gateway). In other cases, the responses might not be issued by an authoritative source, but the issuer supports the responses with Evidences (or commits to support them timely, e.g. a self-declaration or a declaration of oath). The Information Requirement can require structured data or documents of any form. For structured data, the Requirement can use 'Concepts' to specify the structure and type of the data expected in the response. For both structured and unstructured data, the Information Requirement can indicate the expected Type of Evidence, its format, source, and other properties related to the Evidence.
cccev:Requirement Condition or prerequisite that is to be proven by Evidence. Additional Information: Requirement is a generic class representing any type of prerequisite that may be desired, needed or imposed as an obligation. CCCEV recommends to not use the Requirement class directly, but rather a more semantically-enriched subclass such as Criterion, Information Requirement or Constraint. Also note that the Requirement class is specified at a more abstract level and is not to be used as the instantiation of a Requirement for a specific Agent. To illustrate the notion: the European Directive on services in the internal market defines requirement as any obligation, prohibition, condition or limit provided for in the laws, regulations or administrative provisions of the Member States or in consequence of case-law, administrative practice, the rules of professional bodies, or the collective rules of professional associations or other professional Organisations, adopted in the exercise of their legal autonomy. To stay consistent to how identification is realised in the eProcurement ontology, we switch to using `adms:identifier` instead of `dct:identifier` as per CCCEV specification.
cpov:ContactPoint Information (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number) of a Person or department through which the user can get in touch with. Additional information: This class represents the contact information for a Public Service, Channel, Public Organisation, etc. The Contact Point could be a role, email address, telephone number, etc. WG approval 5/11/2019
cpov:PublicOrganisation An Organisation that is defined as being part of the public sector by a legal framework at any level.

epo:SpecificDuration
epo:StatisticalInformation Statistical data on the Procedure and the Lot. Additional Information At the present time Procurement Procedures are not fully electronic. At a later date, information on the Tenders received could be inferred by the data in the eProcurement System. Therefore this class is temporal and should cease to exist in fully electronic Procurement. The need for its presence responds also to the alignment with the Regulation (EU) 2019/1780 (eForms). Attention will have to be paid in the future to possible inconsistencies derived from data placed in other classes and data held in the Statistical Information class; e.g. the TenderEvaluation class (see eEvaluation diagram) has the attribute admissibileTender indicator, which in case of being false, may enter in contradiction with the highest or lowest Tender value for that very same inadmissible Tender.

epo:Tender Information submitted by the Economic Operator to specify its Offer regarding a specific Lot, in response to the call for Tender. (WG approval 03/05/2022)
epo:TenderAwardOutcome Result concerning the Tender attributed by the Awarder.
epo:Tenderer A Role of an Agent that has submitted a Tender. Additional Information: A Tenderer is an Economic Operator or group of Economic Operators that has submitted a Tender. WG approval 05/08/2021
epo:TenderGroup Specific Offer in response to a Lot Group. Additional Information: This class is generally used to provide the Monetary Value in response to a Lot Group.
epo:TenderProcessor A Role of an Agent responsible for processing Tenders.
epo:TenderReceiver A Role of an Agent responsible for receiving Tenders.
epo:Term A governing condition or stipulation.
epo:VehicleInformation
epo:Winner A Role of an Agent to whom a Lot is awarded. WG approval 05/08/2021 (revised 26/10/2021)
foaf:Agent A Person, an Organisation, or a System that acts in Procurement or have the power to act in Procurement. WG Approval 28/04/2020
foaf:Person The Person class represents people. Something is a Person if it is a Person. We don't nitpick about whether they're alive, dead, real, or imaginary. The Person class is a sub-class of the Agent class, since all people are considered 'Agents' in FOAF.
locn:Address The particulars of the place where a Person or an Organisation is located. WG Approval 28/04/2020 Additional Information: An "Address Representation" as conceptually defined by the INSPIRE Address Representation data type: "Representation of an address spatial object for use in external application schemas that need to include the basic, address information in a readable way.". The representation of Addresses varies widely from one country's postal System to another. Even within countries, there are almost always examples of Addresses that do not conform to the stated national standard. At the time of publication, work is progressing on ISO 19160-1 that defines a method through which different Addresses can be converted from one conceptual model to another. This specification was heavily based on the INSPIRE Address Representation data type. It is noteworthy that if an Address is provided using the detailed breakdown suggested by the properties for this class, then it will be INSPIRE-conformant. To this very granular set of properties, we add two further properties: - full address (the complete address as a formatted string) - addressID (a unique identifier for the address) The first of these allows publishers to simply provide the complete Address as one string, with or without formatting. This is analogous to vCard's label property. The addressID is part of the INSPIRE guidelines and provides a hook that can be used to link the Address to an alternative representation, such as vCard or OASIS xAL.
locn:Geometry The Geometry class provides the means to identify a Location as a point, line, polygon, etc. expressed using coordinates in some coordinate reference System. Additional Information: This class defines the notion of "Geometry" at the conceptual level, and it shall be encoded by using different formats (see usage note of the locn:geometry property). We also refer to the Examples section of this specification for a number of different Geometry examples expressed in different formats.
org:Organization A collection of people organized together into a community or other social, commercial or political structure. The group has some common purpose or reason for existence which goes beyond the set of people belonging to it and can act as an Agent. Organisations are often decomposable into hierarchical structures. (WG approval 23/11/2018).
person:Person A individual human being who may be dead or alive, but not imaginary.
time:Duration Duration of a temporal extent expressed as a number scaled by a temporal unit.

Additional Information: This would typically be part of a city, a neighbourhood or village, e.g. Montmartre. rdf:PlainLiteral [0..1]
locn:Address locn:adminUnitL1 The name or names of a unit of administration related to the exercise of jurisdictional rights, for local, regional and national governance. Level 1 refers to the uppermost administrative unit for the address, almost always a country. Additional Information: Best practice is to use the ISO 3166-1 code but if this is inappropriate for the context, country names should be provided in a consistent manner to reduce ambiguity. For example, either write 'France' or 'FRA' consistently throughout the dataset and avoid mixing the two. The Country controlled vocabulary from the Publications Office can be reused for this. rdf:PlainLiteral [0..1]
locn:Address locn:adminUnitL2 The name or names of a unit of administration related to the exercise of jurisdictional rights, for local, regional and national governance. Level 2 refers to the region of the address, usually a county, state or other such area that typically encompasses several localities. Additional Information: Some recommended codelists from the EU Publications Office include: Administrative Territorial Units (ATU), NUTS and Local Administrative Units (LAU). The first arrondissement of Paris is for example expressed as "http://publications.europa.eu/resource/authority/atu/FRA_AR_PAR01" in the ATU controlled vocabulary. rdf:PlainLiteral [0..1]
locn:Address locn:fullAddress The complete address written as a formatted string. Additional Information: Use of this property is recommended as it will not suffer any misunderstandings that might arise through the breaking up of an address into its component parts. This property is analogous to vCard's label property but with two important differences: (1) formatting is not assumed so that, unlike vCard label, it may not be suitable to print this on an address label, (2) vCard's label property has a domain of vCard Address; the fullAddress property has no such restriction. An example of a full address is "Champ de Mars, 5 Avenue Anatole France, 75007 Paris, France". rdf:PlainLiteral [0..1]
dct:Location locn:geographicName A textual description for a Location. Additional Information: The INSPIRE Data Specification on Geographical Names provides a detailed model for describing a 'named place', including methods for providing multiple names in multiple scripts. This is beyond what is necessary for the Core Location Vocabulary but, importantly, the concept of a geographic name used here is consistent. A geographic name is a proper noun applied to a spatial object. Taking the example used in the INSPIRE document (page 15), the following are all valid geographic names for the Greek capital: - "Aθnνa"@gr-Grek (the Greek endonym written in the Greek script) - "Ath&#237;na"@gr-Latn (the standard Romanisation of the endonym) - "Athens"@en (the English language exonym) INSPIRE has a detailed (XML-based) method of providing metadata about a geographic name and in XML-data sets that may be the most appropriate method to follow. When using the Core Location Vocabulary in data sets that are not focussed on environmental/geographical data (the use case for INSPIRE), the Code datatype or a simple language identifier may be used to provide such metadata. The country codes defined in ISO 3166 may be used as geographic names and these are generally preferred over either the long form or short form of a country's name (as they are less error prone). The Publications Office of the European Union recommends the use of ISO 3166-1 codes for countries in all cases except two: - use 'UK' in preference to the ISO 3166 code GB for the United Kingdom; - use 'EL' in preference to the ISO 3166 code GR for Greece. Where a country has changed its name or no longer exists (such as Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia etc.) use the ISO 3166-3 code. rdf:PlainLiteral [0..1]
locn:Address locn:locatorDesignator A number or a sequence of characters which allows a user or an application to interpret, parse and format the locator within the relevant scope. A locator may include more locator designators.

locn:addressID A globally unique identifier for each instance of an Address. Additional Information: The concept of adding a globally unique identifier for each instance of an address is a crucial part of the INSPIRE data spec. A number of EU countries have already implemented an ID (a UUID) in their Address Register/gazetteer, among them Denmark. OASIS xAL also includes an address identifier. It is the address Identifier that allows an address to be represented in a format other than INSPIRE whilst remaining conformant to the Core Vocabulary. The INSPIRE method of representing addresses is very detailed, designed primarily for use in databases of addresses. Whilst data that is published in full conformance with the INSPIRE data structure can be made available using the Location Core Vocabulary the reverse is not true since the Core Vocabulary allows much greater flexibility. Many datasets that include address data as one piece of information about something else are likely to have that data in simpler formats. These might be tailored to the specific need of the dataset, follow a national norm, or make use of a standard like vCard. To provide maximum flexibility in the Core Vocabulary, whilst remaining interoperable with INSPIRE Address Guidelines (which EU Member States are obliged to use), the Location Core Vocabulary provides the extra property of full address and makes use of INSPIRE's addressID. locn:Address -> adms:Identifier [0..1]
locn:geographicIdentifier A URI that identifies the Location. Additional Information: GeoNames.org provides stable, widely recognised identifiers for more than 10 million geographical names that can be used as links to further information. For example, http://sws.geonames.org/593116/ identifies the Lithuanian capital Vilnius. Unfortunately these URIs cannot easily be automatically deduced since the URI scheme uses simple numeric codes. Finding a GeoNames identifier for a Location is almost always a manual process. Where such identifiers are known or can be found, however, it is recommended that they be used. Where the Location Class is used to identify a country, if the geonames URI is not known, the recommendation is to use DBpedia URIs of the form http://dbpedia.org/resource/ISO_3166-1:XX where XX is the ISO 3166 two character code for the country. The EU's Publication Office diverges from ISO 3166-1 and uses EL and UK for Greece and the United Kingdom respectively. DBpedia sticks to the ISO codes and so the correct URIs for these countries are: - http://dbpedia.org/resource/ISO_3166-1:GR - http://dbpedia.org/resource/ISO_3166-1:GB even when the geographic name is given as EL or UK. The use of a URIs has added advantages: - it can be used by automated systems to look up additional data (linked data); - a triple store may store only one copy of the URI, whereas if a string is used, a copy of that string is always stored for each and every person in the database. Thus, in large data sets, the saving on memory capacity and the improvement in transmission efficiency can be substantial. dct:Location -> adms:Identifier [0..1]
