A place from which data can be accessed.

The data “in” a Space typically represents Items and is organized into Collections. This ontology defines data as being “in” a Space in terms of it being logically accessible from a Space, which is itself a somewhat loose phrasing. The intention is to encompass such things as websites and filesystems, with·out making any claims about the underlying technologies or storage mediums.

Because it is conceptual in nature, rather than being beholden to a particular encoding structure, this class is not a subclass of .

Spaces often also have a social component, i·e Communities.
