For example, "vehicle" is a hypernym of "car", "truck", and "bicycle". **SKOS ALIGNMENT**: In SKOS vocabulary, hypernym relationships are expressed via: - `skos:broader` - links a concept to its hypernym - `skos:narrower` - inverse, links hypernym to hyponyms - `skos:broaderTransitive` - transitive closure of broader **HERITAGE DOMAIN USAGE**: - Collection types: "Archives" is hypernym of "Municipal Archives" - Institution types: "Museum" is hypernym of "Art Museum" - Subject classification: "Art" is hypernym of "Painting" **RELATED CONCEPTS**: - **Hyponym**: The inverse - a more specific concept (child) - **Meronym**: Part-of relationship (different from is-a) - **Holonym**: Whole-of relationship (inverse of meronym) **ONTOLOGY MAPPING**: - class_uri: skos:Concept (as hypernym IS a concept) - exact_mappings: skos:broader target concept class_uri: skos:Concept exact_mappings: - skos:Concept close_mappings: - rdfs:Class - owl:Class slots: - has_or_had_identifier - has_or_had_label - has_or_had_description attributes: hypernym_uri: range: uriorcurie description: >- URI reference to the broader/parent concept.
