Terminology about User Data

Hello everyone!

I’ve got a terminology question (thinking about the data that a user may have):

• there’s the typical “properties” like foaf:name, ldp:inbox, etc etc.
• then there’s the data that is listed by class in the typeIndex.

If the first type of data can be reasonably referred to as “properties”, what is the second type of data called?

For some context, I’m structuring a JS Object to define where to populate data from. Something like

{
  subject: "https://jshurmer.inrupt.net/profile/card#me",
  properties: {
    name: "foaf:name",
    job: "vcard:role",
  },
  "?WHAT?": {
    bookmarks: "http://www.w3.org/2002/01/bookmark#Bookmark",
  },
}

That JS Object would be used to create an object with data filled in and accessible like foo.name, foo.job, foo.bookmarks. foo.bookmarks would be filled with all the bookmarks found by following the subject’s publicTypeIndex, as specified in the data-discovery proposal
