VII. Naming layer

The naming layer tags schema, properties, concepts, and relations in a human-readable format. Organized in contextual profiles, these are dependent on a language/locale. Defining this layer is not mandatory unless the specified concept is used in direct interactions with the end-user.

  "name": "User",
  "properties": {
    "name": "Username",
    "age": "Age",
    "sex": "Sex",
    "address": "Address",
    "email": "Email",
    "password": "Password",
    "active": "Active user",
    "lastSeen": "Last login time",
    "profile": "User profile details",
    "avatar": "User avatar image"
  }
}

This layer aggregates locale-specific profiles containing translations for names. Each profile contains the naming translation for the concept and all its properties.

In a Nutshell​

If you want to add a human-readable name for a concept or property, you can do it by adding the naming layer to the concept.
