Self-Description Schema

Within Gaia-X, a schema refers to a comprehensive set of class data that encompasses shapes, ontologies, and controlled vocabularies. Shapes establish the criteria for validation, whereas ontologies outline the terminology and connections between them, forming the foundation for constructing claims. Controlled vocabularies make up a significant portion of the vocabulary and are more expansive and straightforward than the more intricate ontology, consisting of extensive collections of standard references and country codes.
