Yeah. On the one hand, I'm usually one of the first to advocate strongly for re-use of existing solutions, particularly if they are from the W3C stable and have clearly been designed to integrate. On the other I was somewhat put off by the complexity that is introduced as a further controlled vocabulary is required for the property semantics. I understand why DQV does it that way, to remain scalable and general. But we need to be sure that we want this to be reflected into DCAT. Furthermore, as has been noted before, DQV is not a Rec therefore officially it cannot be cited normatively;-( Of course, all of these spatial and temporal properties (including the classic DCT ones) have non-simple values, so just the complexity re-appears a layer down anyway. However, I think the mappings to DQV can almost certainly be formally expressed using OWL Restrictions and property-chain-axioms (e.g. see mappings from DCT to PROV here: https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/blob/gh-pages/dcat/rdf/dcat-prov.ttl#L63 ) so I'm not sure the interoperability argument made by @makxdekkers is strictly true. -- GitHub Notification of comment by dr-shorthair Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/dxwg/issues/84#issuecomment-465091170 using your GitHub account
