A new candidate data model, Classifications, is now available in the Smart Data Models Candidates repository, translated from the SIMPLE project’s extensions to the FEDeRATED Classifications ontology.
Classifications is the controlled-vocabulary backbone shared across FEDeRATED’s logistics ontologies: document types, cargo/container/package/equipment types, dangerous goods and nature-of-cargo codes, transport modality and movement types, seal condition codes, and TEN-T core network corridor names. Rather than one entity type per code list, this candidate models a single generic Classifications entity — each instance a code value tagged with the specific scheme it belongs to — keeping the model proportionate to what is genuinely a taxonomy, not a set of independent entity types.
SIMPLE’s own contribution: CMR, the international road consignment note, added as a new DocumentType code value.
