Specification Metadata


Upstream Schema Basis (Refers From) & Global Standards Provenance

This RobOS schema is modeled after and directly aligns with two levels of global standards:

  • Universal Schema.org Class: https://schema.org/EntryPoint (100% interoperability with search engines, web indexers, and general AI reasoning)
  • Specialized Domain Standard: https://spec.openapis.org/oas/v3.1.0 (de facto standard for domain-specific ALM, BDD, or infrastructure operations)
  • Canonical Reference: https://schema.org/EntryPoint
  • Agent Guidelines: When autonomous agents generate, expand, or validate instances of robos:APIEndpoint, they MUST adhere to and base their output on this referred schema object and universal Schema.org parent class, extending it with RobOS SDLC properties.

Entity Relationship & Schema Context

API Endpoint robos:APIEndpoint

Governed by W3C SHACL shape urn:robos:shape:APIEndpointShape within the Services & Contracts (robos.services) (robos.services) package store.

Property Constraints & SHACL Rules

Property Path Name Multiplicity Data Type Constraint Rule / Validation Message
dcterms:title Title / Display Name 1..* xsd:string API Endpoint must have a title or summary.
robos:pathPattern API Path Pattern 1..* xsd:string API Endpoint must declare path pattern (e.g. /api/v1/orders).
robos:httpMethod HTTP Method 1..* xsd:string API Endpoint must declare HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.).
