Delegated^c

IRI	`http://purl.org/linked-data/registry#Delegated`

Entity Reference^c

IRI	`http://purl.org/linked-data/registry#EntityReference`
Description	A reference to some internal or external Linked Data resource. The reg:reference gives the URI of the resource being referenced. If a reg:sourceGraph value is present then it is the URI for a named graph within the Registry containing the properties of the referenced entity. If reg:entityVersion is present it gives URI for the particular version:Version of the entity being referenced. Normally only one of reg:sourceGraph and reg:entityVersion is needed since versioned entities are normally stored in the default graph.
