Class: OntologyMappable

A mixin for entities that map to concepts in external vocabularies.

Choose the property by cardinality and confidence. All of them are sub-properties of skos:mappingRelation, so a weaker claim can be tightened later without contradicting what was already published. Note that close_match is NOT a more general form of broad_match: they are siblings asserting different things (similarity at the same level vs. a hierarchy), and the neutral fallback is mapping_relation.

      is not established: it entails nothing, being neither symmetric nor transitive

    description: 'The external concept is interchangeable with this entity. Symmetric
      AND transitive, so it chains through third-party mappings. Do not use where
      several of our entities map to one external concept: the entailment would then

  close_match:
    name: close_match
    description: Close enough to be used interchangeably in some applications. Symmetric
      but not transitive. Asserts similarity at the same level, so it is not a substitute
      for broad_match where a hierarchy exists.

      concepts are NOT equivalent and NOT hierarchically related, so it is a claim
      in its own right rather than a neutral fallback.
