  • Branch: fix/uko-layer0-missing-constants
  • Commit Message: fix(acms): add missing UKO_INFORMATION_UNIT and UKO_ANNOTATION Layer 0 constants to vocabularies.py
  • Milestone: v3.4.0
  • Parent Epic: #396

Bug Description

The UKO Layer 0 vocabulary in src/cleveragents/acms/uko/vocabularies.py defines only 4 of the 5 Layer 0 class URI constants. The UKO_INFORMATION_UNIT and UKO_ANNOTATION constants are missing, even though the spec defines them as core Layer 0 classes and the ontology_registry.py correctly lists all 5 classes.

What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/acms/uko/vocabularies.py and src/cleveragents/domain/models/acms/ontology_registry.py against the specification.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The specification (§ Layer 0: Universal Foundation, lines 44006–44082) defines 5 Layer 0 OWL classes:

uko:InformationUnit a owl:Class ;
    rdfs:label "InformationUnit" .

uko:Container a owl:Class ;
    rdfs:subClassOf uko:InformationUnit .

uko:Atom a owl:Class ;
    rdfs:subClassOf uko:InformationUnit .

uko:Annotation a owl:Class ;
    rdfs:subClassOf uko:InformationUnit .

uko:Boundary a owl:Class ;
    rdfs:subClassOf uko:InformationUnit .

All 5 classes are correctly listed in LAYER0_CLASSES in ontology_registry.py:

LAYER0_CLASSES: frozenset[str] = frozenset({
    "uko:InformationUnit",
    "uko:Container",
    "uko:Atom",
    "uko:Annotation",
    "uko:Boundary",
})

Actual Behavior

vocabularies.py only defines 4 Layer 0 URI constants:

# Layer 0 URIs (line 62-66)
UKO_CONTAINER = "https://cleveragents.ai/ontology/uko#Container"
UKO_ATOM = "https://cleveragents.ai/ontology/uko#Atom"
UKO_BOUNDARY = "https://cleveragents.ai/ontology/uko#Boundary"
UKO_DEPENDS_ON = "https://cleveragents.ai/ontology/uko#dependsOn"

Missing:

  • UKO_INFORMATION_UNIT = "https://cleveragents.ai/ontology/uko#InformationUnit" — the root superclass of all Layer 0 classes
  • UKO_ANNOTATION = "https://cleveragents.ai/ontology/uko#Annotation" — the annotation class (used for decorators, comments, etc.)

The __all__ list in vocabularies.py also does not export these constants.

Impact

Medium. The missing constants create an inconsistency between the vocabulary module and the ontology registry:

  1. UKO_INFORMATION_UNIT: This is the root superclass of all Layer 0 classes. Layer 2 and Layer 3 vocabulary classes that should declare rdfs:subClassOf uko:InformationUnit cannot reference this constant from vocabularies.py. Any code that needs to check if a UKO node is an InformationUnit must hardcode the URI string instead of using the constant.

  2. UKO_ANNOTATION: The PythonDecorator and RustDeriveAttribute classes in Layer 3 vocabularies are semantically annotation-like constructs. They currently subclass uko-code:TypeDefinition as a "pragmatic approximation" (noted in comments in layer3_py.py and layer3_rs.py). Once UKO_ANNOTATION is available, these classes should be updated to use the correct parent class.

  3. Inconsistency with ontology_registry.py: The LAYER0_CLASSES frozenset in ontology_registry.py correctly lists all 5 classes, but vocabularies.py only provides URI constants for 3 of them (Container, Atom, Boundary). This inconsistency will confuse contributors working with the UKO vocabulary.

Code Location

  • src/cleveragents/acms/uko/vocabularies.py — Layer 0 URI constants section (lines 62–66), __all__ list (lines 23–38)
  • src/cleveragents/domain/models/acms/ontology_registry.pyLAYER0_CLASSES (correctly lists all 5)
  • src/cleveragents/acms/uko/layer3_py.pyPythonDecorator uses uko-code:TypeDefinition as workaround (line 82 comment)
  • src/cleveragents/acms/uko/layer3_rs.pyRustDeriveAttribute uses uko-code:TypeDefinition as workaround (line 80 comment)

Fix Required

Add the two missing constants to vocabularies.py:

# Layer 0 URIs
UKO_BASE_IRI = "https://cleveragents.ai/ontology/uko#"
UKO_INFORMATION_UNIT = f"{UKO_BASE_IRI}InformationUnit"  # Root superclass
UKO_CONTAINER = f"{UKO_BASE_IRI}Container"
UKO_ATOM = f"{UKO_BASE_IRI}Atom"
UKO_ANNOTATION = f"{UKO_BASE_IRI}Annotation"
UKO_BOUNDARY = f"{UKO_BASE_IRI}Boundary"
UKO_DEPENDS_ON = f"{UKO_BASE_IRI}dependsOn"

And export them in __all__.

Subtasks

  • Add UKO_INFORMATION_UNIT constant to vocabularies.py
  • Add UKO_ANNOTATION constant to vocabularies.py
  • Export both new constants in __all__
  • Update PythonDecorator in layer3_py.py to use UKO_ANNOTATION as parent (pending #576 review)
  • Update RustDeriveAttribute in layer3_rs.py to use UKO_ANNOTATION as parent (pending #576 review)
  • Add BDD scenarios verifying the new constants are accessible and have correct URI values
  • Verify coverage >= 97% via nox -s coverage_report
  • Run nox (all default sessions) and fix any errors

Definition of Done

  • UKO_INFORMATION_UNIT and UKO_ANNOTATION are defined in vocabularies.py with correct URIs
  • Both constants are exported in __all__
  • The Layer 0 constants in vocabularies.py are consistent with LAYER0_CLASSES in ontology_registry.py
  • All nox sessions pass with coverage >= 97%

Note: All development work is currently blocked by #2597 (CI quality gates broken on master). This issue will be ready for implementation once master is green.

Issue verified by project owner. Existing MoSCoW/Should Have and Priority/Medium labels are appropriate. UKO vocabulary constants are needed for Layer 0 completeness.

Starting implementation on branch fix/uko-layer0-missing-constants.

Plan:

  • Wave 1 (parallel): Add UKO_INFORMATION_UNIT + UKO_ANNOTATION constants to vocabularies.py + export in __all__ + update layer3_py.py + update layer3_rs.py
  • Wave 2: Add BDD scenarios for the new constants
  • Wave 3: Run nox quality gates

All subtasks are independent of each other except BDD scenarios which need the constants to exist first.
