rdfs:comment "The module preserves competency questions as resources with independent natural-language, requirement, target, expectation, formalization, execution, template-realization, and review relations. A template binding realizes natural-language text, while a formal query evaluates a question; neither query execution nor SHACL conformance by itself proves the question's answer to be true." ;

# Core question and context resources
:CompetencyQuestion
a rdfs:Class ;
rdfs:label "competency question" ;
rdfs:comment "A persistent requirement-oriented question used to scope, explain, evaluate, or regress-test a semantic artifact. Its identity is independent of any one wording, query, answer, or execution." .
:QuestionSet
a rdfs:Class ;
rdfs:label "question set" ;
rdfs:comment "A named collection of competency questions assembled for a stated design, evaluation, regression, or publication purpose. Membership does not imply that the set is complete." .

:OntologyRequirement
a rdfs:Class ;
rdfs:subClassOf prov:Entity ;
rdfs:label "ontology requirement" ;
rdfs:comment "A stated semantic capability or boundary that an ontology is expected to provide. A requirement is not itself a competency question, though questions can operationalize it." .
:UseCase
a rdfs:Class ;
rdfs:subClassOf prov:Entity ;
rdfs:label "use case" ;
rdfs:comment "A stakeholder-relevant situation or intended decision that motivates one or more competency questions. It does not assert that the described workflow has occurred." .

rdfs:comment "A template-local logical input referenced by one or more slot occurrences. Parameter identity is resource-based and remains stable if its human-readable name changes." .
:TemplateInstantiation
a rdfs:Class ;
rdfs:subClassOf prov:Entity ;

:AnswerExpectation
a rdfs:Class ;
rdfs:subClassOf prov:Entity ;

a rdfs:Class ;
rdfs:subClassOf prov:Entity ;

a rdfs:Class ;
rdfs:label "competency question kind value" ;
rdfs:comment "A classification of a competency question by its semantic function and distinguishing constituents. The five supplied values follow the QuO model used by ROCQS, but the range remains extensible because that model does not claim the five kinds are exhaustive." .
:QuestionPurpose
a rdfs:Class ;
rdfs:label "question purpose value" ;
rdfs:comment "An operational use of a competency question or question set in an Inferal workflow, kept separate from the question's semantic kind, authoring lifecycle, and review state." .
