Reification

Semantic Web Interest Group,
Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Representation (AIKR) Community Group,

Hello. I am excited to share a new discussion thread: https://github.com/schemaorg/schemaorg/discussions/4587 about reification scenarios including exploration into how to enable articles and reports to make use of schema metadata to indicate that they were about one or more reified statements, for example, that an article or report was about whether a proposed or realized action adhered to one or more rules.

The discussion thread's original post shows, in a toggle-collapsible details section, how such a scenario might be expressed using JSON-LD-star:

[
  {
    "@context": "http://schema.org/",
    "@type": "CreativeWork",
    "url" : "https://thinktank.org/articles/1234.html",
    "about": [
      {
        "@id": {
          "@id": "_:n1",
          "adheresTo": {
             "@id": "_:n2"
          }
        }
      },
      {
        "@id": {
          "@id": "_:n1",
          "adheresTo": {
             "@id": "_:n3"
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    "@context": "http://schema.org/",
    "@id": "_:n1",
    "@type": "Action",
    "url": "https://example.com/actions/123.html"
  },
  {
    "@context": "http://schema.org/",
    "@id": "_:n2",
    "@type": "Rule",
    "url": "https://example.com/policy/rule-1.html"
  },
  {
    "@context": "http://schema.org/",
    "@id": "_:n3",
    "@type": "Rule",
    "url": "https://example.com/policy/rule-2.html"
  }
]

I hope that these ideas are of some interest and thank you for any comments or feedback in the discussion thread.
