URI Interpretation
Description

In general terms the interpretation of an event or subject is an abstract description of “what happened” or “what is this”.

Each interpretation type is uniquely identified by a URI. This class provides a list of hard coded URI constants for programming convenience. In addition; each interpretation instance in this class has a display_name property, which is an internationalized string meant for end user display.

The interpretation types listed here are all subclasses of str and may be used anywhere a string would be used.

Interpretations form a hierarchical type tree. So that fx. Audio, Video, and Image all are sub types of Media. These types again have their own sub types, like fx. Image has children Icon, Photo, and VectorImage (among others).

Templates match on all sub types, so that a query on subjects with interpretation Media also match subjects with interpretations Audio, Photo, and all other sub types of Media.
