The Records in Context Ontology (RiC-O) is published by the International Council on Archives (ICA) Expert Group on Archival Description (EGAD) as part of Records in Context, a conceptual model for archival description. This schema is a machine-generated MASP conversion of RiC-O 1.1, produced by scripts/owl-to-masp.py — see that script's spec for the conversion's mapping rules and known limitations, and schema-crate/RiC-O_1-1.rdf for the exact source file converted (also recorded via a CreateAction in ro-crate-metadata.json).
Conversion caveats:
Only the ~660 classes and properties defined in RiC-O's own namespace (https://www.ica.org/standards/RiC/ontology#) were converted; terms it imports from other vocabularies (SKOS, Dublin Core, etc.) are not included as their own entities, though properties may still reference them.
owl:Restriction-based rdfs:subClassOf axioms (e.g. cardinality or someValuesFrom restrictions) are not modelled — only named superclasses are kept, so some of RiC-O's OWL semantics are intentionally simplified for MASP's class/property rule model.
Cardinality (sh:minCount/sh:maxCount) is left unset throughout; RiC-O does not express this in a form the converter maps automatically.
Each class/property's rdfs:label is its JSON-LD term name (the IRI's local name, e.g. isComponentOfTransitive); the expanded, human-readable OWL label (e.g. "is component of transitive") is in name instead — see the spec's "Label vs. name" section.
This is a schema, not a profile: it defines the available terms but doesn't itself constrain which are required in a conforming RO-Crate. A profile specialising a subset of RiC-O for a particular use (e.g. describing archival record sets in an RO-Crate) would be a separate, hand-authored crate in profiles/.

Second, general description may be used to describe one or more characteristics that are not otherwise accommodated in RiC-O. Third, it may be used to provide a succinct summary or abstract description in addition to more detailed specific description.

A delimitation of the physical territory of a Place. Used to describe basic human-readable text such as an address, a cadastral reference, or less precise information found in a Record.
Information about the physical features, completeness, or conservation status of an Instantiation. Includes information about the physical nature and condition such as conservation status or the deterioration of an Instantiation (for example its carrier) affecting the ability to recover information.
Connects a Thing to a Thing that follows it directly or indirectly in some sequence (not necessarily defined or characterised chronologically). This is a transitive relation.
Connects a Record Resource to a Proxy of a Record Resource that it precedes directly or indirectly in some sequence (not necessarily defined or characterised chronologically).
Connects a Proxy of a Record Resource to a Record Resource which it precedes directly in some sequence (not necessarily defined or characterised chronologically).
Connects a Proxy of a Record Resource to a Proxy of another Record Resource that it precedes directly in some sequence (not necessarily defined or characterised chronologically).
Connects a Proxy of a Record or Record Part to a Proxy of another Record or Record Part which it is a constituent of, directly or indirectly. This is a transitive relation.
Connects a Proxy of a Record Resource to a Record Resource which the first precedes directly or indirectly in some sequence (not necessarily defined or characterised chronologically).
Connects a Proxy of a Record Resource to a Proxy of another Record Resource which directly or indirectly follows the first in some sequence (not necessarily defined or characterised chronologically). This is a transitive relation.
Characteristics of an Instantiation that affect the ability to recover the intellectual content. Such characteristics may be related to the methods used in creating the Instantiation or introduced subsequent to the creation through accident.
The quantity of information content, as human experienced, contained in a Record Resource. The method and precision of expressing the quantity of information represented in a Record Resource will vary according to the kind of Record Resource being described, processing economy constraints, etc. For record sets, quantity may be expressed as number of records, or, for analogue records in particular, by the physical storage dimensions of the members of the Record Set. For individual records or record parts, quantity may be expressed in more precise terms.
Information about the intellectual arrangement and composition of a Record Resource. For Record and Record Part, it encompasses information about the intellectual composition of the record, the presence of record parts and their functions. For Record Set, it encompasses information about the methodology or criteria used for arranging the Record Set members or Record members within the containing Record Set
Summary of the scope (such as time periods, geography) and content (such as subject matter, administrative processes) of a Record Resource. Provides a more complete summary of the informational content of the Record Resource highlighting the information conveyed in the Record Resource, why it was created, received, and/or maintained, and the agents connected to it. It may include description of relations with agents, activities, dates and places, or with other record resources.
Information about the intellectual arrangement and composition of a Record Resource or the physical arrangement and composition of an Instantiation. For Record and Record Part, it encompasses information about the intellectual composition of the record, the presence of record parts and their functions. For Record Set, it encompasses information about the methodology or criteria used for arranging the Record Set members or Record members within the containing Record Set. For Instantiation, it may comprise information about the composition of the physical elements of the instantiation
A definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity. Can be spacial units (cm, m), weight (g, kg), time (s, h), storage (MB, TB) or more informal units used in the archival context like number of boxes, pages or words.
