Class: ThingMixin

name: ThingMixin
description: Mix-in with the common interface of `Thing` and `AttributeSpecification`.
  This interface enables type specifications (`rdf:type`) for things and attributes
  via a `type` designator slot to indicate specialized schema classes for validation
  where a slot's `range` is too generic. A thing or attribute can be further describe
  with statements on qualified relations to other things (`characterized_by`), or
  inline attributes (`attributes`). A set of `mappings` slots enables the alignment
  for arbitrary external schemas and terminologies.

    name: attributes
    description: Declares a relation that associates a `Thing` (or another attribute)
      with an attribute, where an attribute is an intrinsic characteristic, such as
      a quality, capability, disposition, function, or is an externally derived attribute
      determined from some descriptor (e.g. a quantity, position, label/identifier).
      Technically, this declaration is done via an `AttributeSpecification` that combines
      a `predicate` with a value declaration and the attribute-related slots of a
      `Thing`. Importantly, such attributes are declared inline, because they do not
      have a unique identifier. If an identifier is available, a `Thing` declaration
      (see `relation`), and a qualification of that relationship via a `Statement`
      (see `characterized_by`) should be preferred.

    description: State that the subject is an instance of a particular RDF class.
      Typically, no explicit value needs to be assigned to this slot, because it matches
      the class type of a particular record. However, this slots can be used as a
      type designator of a schema element for validation and schema structure handling
      purposes. This is used to indicate specialized schema classes for properties
      that accept a hierarchy of classes as their range.
