Retrieve a Brick entity's full class hierarchy and inherited tags after inference
domain: brickschema.org · 4 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
Assert a single, most-specific rdf:type on the entity, e.g. "mybldg:t1 a brick:Zone_Air_Temperature_Sensor"
Run a Brick-aware reasoner over the model
After inference, the entity gains rdf:type triples for every ancestor class (e.g. Air_Temperature_Sensor, Temperature_Sensor, Sensor, Point) plus brick:hasTag triples for the union of tags on those classes
Query by rdf:type or brick:hasTag to read out the materialized hierarchy and tag set
Known gotchas
Without inference the model only contains the single most-specific rdf:type — code expecting ancestor types (e.g. generic Point) must run the reasoner first
hasTag values are a union across all instantiated classes, so two similarly-named entities can carry different tag sets if typed to different Brick classes
