Class: Capability
A specific AI capability or ability, such as reading comprehension, logical reasoning, or code generation. Aligned with the W3C DPV AI extension dpv-ai:Capability, representing what an AI technology is capable of achieving or providing.
Capabilities are distinct from: (1) the intended purpose for which the technology is designed, (2) the actual tasks performed in a specific deployment context, and (3) the technical implementation mechanisms (intrinsics, adapters) that enable the capability.
