This section provides details for each class and property defined by GerPS-Software.

Classes

Administrative specialized applicationc back to ToC or Class ToC

IRI: https://w3id.org/gerps/ontology/software/GPS_0000010

In general, software that is used to execute or support business functionalities. In the federal IT landscape, these can specifically be online application services for creating and sending applications to the public administration. However, specialist applications can also be specialist procedures that accept applications or provide IT support for other specialist processes within the public administration. The term specialist application is to be understood as a logical unit that makes no statement about the technical complexity of the information system.
