Guide

This guide is a non-normative walk-through of OO-LD Schema. It follows the same orientation as the JSON-LD specification: each concept is introduced with a short explanation and worked examples. For the exact, normative rules - and the RFC 2119 keywords - always refer to the Specification.

Contents

  • Basic Concepts - how one document serves as both a JSON Schema and a JSON-LD context, and how inheritance is expressed.
  • Composition - assembling complex types from independent schemas, merging remote contexts, and the merge-and-override model.
  • Schema Instances - how instances reference their schema (@context, $schema), carry identity (@id), and carry their semantic type.
  • Identification & Versioning - $id, x-oold-uuid, the ontology class IRI (x-oold-iri), and version keywords.
  • Extensions - the JSON-LD and JSON Schema extensions OO-LD adds (@version, multi-mapping, multilanguage, x-oold-range, reverse properties, UI generation).
  • Meta-schema & Vocabulary - the OO-LD dialect meta-schema and the full x-oold-* keyword table.
