File.format_

The format of the file: this must be an IRI of a concept node that represents the file format, preferrably defined within an ontology. If no ontology is available, file formats may be tested by exact match. Reasoning about format compatability must be done by checking that an input file format is the same, owl:equivalentClass or rdfs:subClassOf the format required by the input parameter. owl:equivalentClass is transitive with rdfs:subClassOf, e.g. if <B> owl:equivalentClass <C> and <B> owl:subclassOf <A> then infer <C> owl:subclassOf <A>. File format ontologies may be provided in the "$schemas" metadata at the root of the document. If no ontologies are specified in $schemas, the runtime may perform exact file format matches.
