Naming & Normalization Conventions
We follow standard RDF / Semantic Web naming conventions:
- Classes (entities / types) use PascalCase
ex:Case
ex:JudicialDecision
- Properties (predicates) use lower camelCase
ex:hasDecision
ex:datePublished
- Individuals with natural names use PascalCase
ex:FrenchCourtOfCassation
Individuals with structured or external identifiers preserve their structure (underscores and digits are allowed and encouraged)
ex:Case_2023_456
ex:Decision_2021_09_15
Notes
- Underscores are avoided in ontology terms (classes, properties).
- Underscores are acceptable for instances derived from external IDs.
- Prefer stable, readable IRIs; store human-facing identifiers explicitly when needed:
ex:Case_2023_456 ex:caseNumber "2023/456" .
