Classes
| Class: | lcc:ClassNumber |
| URI: | http://id.loc.gov/ontologies/lcc#ClassNumber |
| Label: | Class Number |
| Comment: | A ClassNumber is an assignable Resource. The class name and label refer to the resource's code, but a ClassNumber represents a distinct concept designed to describe another resource's "aboutness." |
| SubClass Of: | owl:Thing  |
| [back to class list] [back to top] | |
| Class: | lcc:GuideTable |
| URI: | http://id.loc.gov/ontologies/lcc#GuideTable |
| Label: | Guide Table |
| Comment: | A Guide Table is a resource that contains a table rule. A Guide Table is associated with one or more Schedules; a Guide Table has one or more associated Tables. The Guide Table's table rule is the needed instruction to synthesize a classification number from the Schedule code and an associated Table's code. |
| SubClass Of: | owl:Thing |
| [back to class list] [back to top] | |
| Class: | lcc:IndexTerm |
| URI: | http://id.loc.gov/ontologies/lcc#IndexTerm |
| Label: | Index Term |
| SubClass Of: | owl:Thing |
| [back to class list] [back to top] | |
| Class: | lcc:Range |
| URI: | http://id.loc.gov/ontologies/lcc#Range |
| Label: | Range |
| Comment: | A Range resource is a resource whose code is a class number arrange. From the MARC Classification format, a Range resource is a Defined Range or Summary Range. |
| SubClass Of: | owl:Thing |
| [back to class list] [back to top] | |
| Class: | lcc:Schedule |
| URI: | http://id.loc.gov/ontologies/lcc#Schedule |
| Label: | LCC Schedule |
| Comment: | A Schedule resource contains classification data. It will have a code (classification number) associated with it, which may represent a DefinedRange, SummaryRange, or Topic. Its code could be assignable as is or it may require synthesis with a Table resource. A Schedule resource is used to derive an assignable classification topic/number/code. Therefore, a schedule resource is not assignable. |
| SubClass Of: | owl:Thing |
| [back to class list] [back to top] | |
| Class: | lcc:Table |
| URI: | http://id.loc.gov/ontologies/lcc#Table |
| Label: | Table |
| Comment: | A Table resource has a code or code range designed to be combined with the code or code range from a Schedule resource according to the table rule from the Table's related Guide Table. A Table is not assignable. |
| SubClass Of: | owl:Thing |
| [back to class list] [back to top] | |
| Class: | lcc:TableRule |
| URI: | http://id.loc.gov/ontologies/lcc#TableRule |
| Label: | Table rule |
| Comment: | A Table Rule resource describes the type of rule applied to the code of a Schedule with the code of a Table. |
