Class: ThingMixin

Mix-in with the common interface of Thing and AttributeSpecification. This interface enables type specifications (rdf:type) for things and attributes. This is complemented by the schema_type slot (also rdf:type) that serves as a type designator for specialized schema classes, to enable targeted validation and data transformation. A thing or attribute can be further describe with statements on qualified relations to other things (is_characterized_by), or inline attributes (has_attributes).

  has_attributes:
    name: has_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 `is_characterized_by`) should be preferred.
