Individual

Description

A gr:Individual is an actual product or service instance, i.e., a single identifiable object or action that creates some increase in utility (in the economic sense) for the individual possessing or using this very object (product) or for the individual in whose favor this very action is being taken (service). Products or services are types of goods in the economic sense. For an overview of goods and commodities in economics, see Milgate (1987).

Examples: MyThinkpad T60, the pint of beer standing in front of me, my Volkswagen Golf, the haircut that I received or will be receiving at a given date and time.

Note 1: In many cases, product or service instances are not explicitly exposed on the Web but only claimed to exist (i.e. existentially quantified). In this case, use gr:SomeItems.
Note 2: This class is the new, shorter form of the former gr:ActualProductOrServiceInstance.

Compatibility with schema.org: This class is a subclass of http://schema.org/Product.

Usage

Instances of gr:Individual can have the following properties:

PROPERTY	TYPE	DESCRIPTION	RANGE
From class owl:Thing
dc:contributor	owl:AnnotationProperty		owl:Thing
dc:creator	owl:AnnotationProperty		owl:Thing
dc:rights	owl:AnnotationProperty		owl:Thing
dc:subject	owl:AnnotationProperty		owl:Thing
dc:title	owl:AnnotationProperty		owl:Thing
dcterms:license	owl:AnnotationProperty		owl:Thing
foaf:depiction	owl:ObjectProperty		owl:Thing
foaf:homepage	owl:AnnotationProperty		owl:Thing
gr:displayPosition	owl:AnnotationProperty	The position at which the option or element should be listed in a menu or user dialog, lower numbers come first. The main usage of this property are the days of the week (gr:DayOfWeek), but it is also possible to apply it e.g. to product features or any other conceptual element. Note: Rely on this property only for data originating from a single RDF graph; otherwise, unpredictable results are possible.	owl:Thing
gr:relatedWebService	owl:AnnotationProperty	The URI of a SOAP or REST Web Service from which additional information about the gr:BusinessEntity, gr:Offering, gr:PriceSpecification, or gr:ProductOrService, or any other element, can be obtained. The recommended range is xsd:anyURI i.e., the URI of a SOAP or REST Web Service. In principle, any existing or upcoming vocabulary for Web Services can be used in combination with GoodRelations, because the association between (a) the service description and (b) the GoodRelations description can be found via the Web Service URI value used with this gr:relatedWebService property.	owl:Thing
