UOR Framework

The Universal Object Reference (UOR) Framework is a Rust workspace implementing the UOR Foundation ontology — a mathematical framework for content-addressed, symmetric, multi-metric object spaces with algebraic structure based on Z/(2^n)Z.

Ontology

Version 0.5.2: 34 namespaces · 474 classes · 948 properties · 3601 named individuals

All terms are encoded as typed Rust data in spec/ (uor-ontology) and exported as:

• foundation/ (uor-foundation) — typed Rust traits (published to crates.io)
• public/uor.foundation.jsonld — JSON-LD 1.1
• public/uor.foundation.ttl — Turtle 1.1
• public/uor.foundation.nt — N-Triples
• public/uor.foundation.owl — OWL 2 RDF/XML
• public/uor.foundation.schema.json — JSON Schema (Draft 2020-12)
• public/uor.shapes.ttl — SHACL validation shapes
• public/uor.term.ebnf — EBNF grammar
