The PINK Annotation Schema provides the semantic basis for SSbD. The PINK Annotation Schema expands on the annotation schema provided by tripper, which again expands on the DCAT-AP. A reference documentation of terms reused from standard W3C vocabularies can be found https://pink-project.github.io/PINK-annotation-schema/widoco-reused-terms/index-en.html.
PINK Annotation Schema
Relates an agent to an entity via an activity that both the agent and entity participates to.
attributed
The activity is through overlapped by the agent and overcrossed by the entity.
There may or may not be a causal interaction between the agent and entity.
A relation between an entity that causally affects the subject.
John yesterday is the cause of John today, is an example of temporal-like causality. The desk supporting my laptop is a space-like causality.
causedBy
It MUST take one of the values 'ddoc:mandatory', 'ddoc:recommended' or 'ddoc:optional'.

documentation
Relates a dataset to its datum.
hasDatum
hasSpatioTemporalPart
The part is connected with the rest item or members with both hasNext (or its inverse) and hasContact relations.
hasJunctionPart
Relates an activity to the model it implements.
hasModel
The primitive relation that express the concept of an entity being part of another one.
hasPart
OWL2 does not allow non-simple (e.g. transitive) properties to appear in disjoint property axioms. We therefore implement the transitivity of hasPart using SWRL rules instead of asserting it with owl:TransitiveProperty.
The relation between a process and an object participating to it, i.e. that is relevant to the process itself.
hasParticipant
Participation is a parthood relation: you must be part of the process to contribute to it. A participant whose 4D extension is totally contained within the process.
A semiotic relation that connects a semiotic object to a property in a declaration process.
hasProperty
A proper part of a whole, whose parts always cover the full temporal extension of the whole within a spatial interval.
hasSpatialPart
The part is connected with the rest item or members with hasContact relations only (no hasNext).
A relation that identify a proper item part of the whole, whose parts always cover the full spatial extension of the whole within a time interval.
hasTemporalPart
A temporal part of an item cannot both cause and be caused by any other proper part of the item.
A one-directional relation between an entity that affects the subject.
isAfter
The relation between an entity that overlaps another without having it as part.
isOvercrossedBy
The relation between two individuals that does not share any parts.
nonOverlaps
The relation between two individuals representing entities that share at least one of their parts.
overlaps
Relation an entity to an activity that it interacts with.
participatesTo
The entity through overlaps the activity.
Indirect relation that relates the output of an activity to its input.
processedFrom
One of `pink:functionality`, `pink:safety`, `pink:environmental_sustainability`, `pink:social_sustainability`
Note this class redefined in PR https://github.com/PINK-project/PINK-annotation-schema/pull/15
ssbdDimension
Relates an activity to an entity that it used.
For example, :baking :used :spoon, :egg, :oven .
used
The activity A proper overlaps the entity E, where the non-overlapping part of E causes A.
Relates an activity to an agent that had some (unspecified) responsibility for the occurence of this activity.
wasAssociatedWith
The activity is through overlapped by the agent.
Relates an entity to an agent via an activity that both the entity and agent participates to.
wasAttributedTo
Indirect relation that relates the output entity of an activity to its input entity.
wasDerivedBy
Relates an entity to the activity it was generated from.
wasGeneratedBy
The activity A proper overlaps the entity E, where the non-overlapping part of E is caused by A.
A one-directional relation between an activity that affects the subject activity.
wasInformedBy
hasAPI
ssbdSubDimension
A procedure that deals with quantitative symbols (i.e. symbols associated with a quantitative oriented language).
Computation
A software that performs a computation.
Gromacs is a computational tool that solves Newton's equations of motion.
ComputationalTool
Contrast from variation of properties that is encoded by an agent and that can be decoded by another agent according to a specific rule.
Data
A collection of (more than one) datum, published or curated by a single agent, and available for access or download in one or more representations.
Encoded data made of more than one datum.
Dataset
Datum is the building block of datasets.
A self-consistent encoded data entity.
Datum
The class of individuals standing for an amount of matter (ordinary, anti or hybrid) substance (or mixture of substances) in different states of matter or phases.
Material
A process that has material as input and output.
MaterialProcess
An observation that results in a quantitative comparison of a 'property' of an 'object' with a standard reference based on a well defined mesurement procedure.
Measurement
A useful simplified description of a selected part of the world.
Newton's law of motion is a model for how a body will move when subjected to forces. A mouse can be seen as a model for a human (e.g. in medicine). An architectural floor plan is a model of a house.
Model
The class of all individuals who's temporal parts are of the same type as the whole.
Object
Example: A student during an examination. The student exists both before and after the examination.
An object which is a spatial part of a process.
Participant
A property is atomic in the sense that is aimed to deliver one and one only aspect of the object.
A coventional semiotic sigh that stands for an physical interaction with an object using an atomic symbol.
Property
xxx
ReliabilityDocument
An individual can be said to have a role in relation to the entity.
The class of all individuals that are defined through a parthood relation to an entity.

Aspects related to techno-economic feasibility, to operational costs, etc.
There are important considerations to be made in the context of SSbD such as the 'availability' of raw materials, as chemicals/materials cannot be declared SSbD if the raw materials to produce them are not renewable or are (very) scarce and extracted and processed in an unsustainable manner. Economic aspects play a role when there is a need to rank chemicals and materials based on SSbD criteria (even if they are not SSbD). However, mainly externalities consideration is at stake in a sustainability framework like the SSbD one.
The ability to conserve natural resources and protect global ecosystems to support human health and wellbeing, within the limits of our Planet
Assessing environmental sustainability implies to assess the environmental impacts generated by chemicals/materials along the entire life cycle to move towards: · A toxic-free environment as stated in the CSS (i.e. minimising the total toxicity footprint in terms of ecotoxicity and human toxicity13 - at each stage of the production and consumption life cycle, originated not only by the assessed chemical or material, but also by all the chemicals that are emitted along the life cycle14) (EC, 2020a); · A climate-neutral economy (i.e. minimising the emission of greenhouse gases along the life cycle) (EC, 2019b); · A resource efficient economy and a regenerative economy (i.e. using natural resources in a sustainable manner, minimising inputs and waste generation, and providing more benefits than burdens) (EC, 2020b); · The reduction of biodiversity loss and the conservation of ecosystem functioning, addressing the main drivers of structural and functional biodiversity loss (e.g. land use, climate change) (EC, 2020c);
Human helth and environmental safety aspects of chemicals and materials.
In the context of chemicals assessment, safety could be referring to a certain condition where a stressor (e.g. a chemical) is unlikely to cause any adverse effect to a receptor (e.g. humans and other organisms) (more related to intrinsic hazard properties of the stressor) or where a receptor is protected from risk (more related to control measures or mechanisms to minimise exposure to the stressor). In any case, the term safe involves receptors, and with that generally also requires the consideration of the contact (i.e. exposure) between stressors and receptors as addressed in a risk assessment context.
A globally agreed list of objectives and targets to be pursued for achieving sustainable development.
In the SDGs framework several Goals focus on social aspects, e.g. poverty eradication (SDG 1), food security (SDG 2), health (SDG 3), education (SDG 4), gender equality (SDG 5), decent work (SDG 8), reduce inequalities (SDG 10), peace and justice (SDG 16).
