- Description
This model allows for the representation of lifecycle stages for any Resource. The specific stages are expected to be taken from vocabularies relevant to the Resource.
Introduction
This model is a micro model: a small model that only introduces two new model elements - a single class and a single property - and reuses two existing properties from well-known ontologies/vocabularies to model the lifecycle of something. It does this by allowing something to indicate one or more lifecycle stages which then indicate their type and the time for which that stage is, or was, applicable.
Figure 1: Overview of this model
The property hasLifecycleStage shown in Figure 1 indicates a LifecycleStage instance and may indicate it for anything, i.e. any kind of object. The example in Figure 2 below shows it used for an Address object.
Figure 2: Example use of this model showing two
Lifecycle Stages for an Address object.

|
|---|---|
| Is Defined By | sdo: |
| Description | An additional type for the item, typically used for adding more specific types from external vocabularies |
| Scope Note | Use this property to indicate the specialised type of a Lifeycle Stage which is likely selected from a controlled vocabulary |
| Example |
See the example for :LifecycleStage |
| Domain | Resource |
| Range | Resource |
has time op

|
|---|---|
| Is Defined By | http://www.w3.org/2006/time |
| Description | Supports the association of a temporal entity (instant or interval) to any thing. |
| Scope Note | This property is defined by the Time Ontology in OWL and is a general purpose property for indicating that something has a temporality. It should be used in this model to indicate the timespan of a Lifecycle Stage |
| Example |
See example for LifecycleStage |
| Range | time:TemporalEntity |
