Itemtype

Items which comply with rules of a specific itemtype are considered to be of that type. These rules are: to be linked to “type designating” item and have specific format of value.

E.g.: Item linked with “Image”, which is linked with “itemtype”

"item" -> "Image" -> "itemtype"]

is considered by system as an image. And will be displayed according to the extension - another neighbour item linked with “itemextension”

"item" -> "JPG" -> "itemextension"

Items without own value are rendered using its neighbours values.

E.g.: Item linked with:

"item" -> "Contact" -> "itemtype"
"item" -> "John"    -> "Name"    -> "itemtype"
"item" -> "Miller"  -> "Surname" -> "itemtype"

is considered to be of a “Contact” type with “John Miller” as a value.

This is the concept of storing composite senses. Same principle applies to making higher abstraction for user’s data, like: “My vacations” or “Things I’m going to buy”.

Implementation of itemtype is a Functional module which can retrieve Items of its type from Graph.
