Dear all, > I followed the idea of using a property to point to a class with the > capitalisation of the class name as the only difference in some recent > vocab work - and got push back. I would also recommend to push back on this, and disagree with Bill, this is not an established practice (or at least, I would like to see evidence of the contrary), nor a practice to encourage. > I was told by non-Sem Web data modellers > that the more general convention is that properties (data type > properties) should be nouns and relationships (object type properties) > should be verbs. > > Things like org:hasSite cf. org:classification fit in with this. Yes, and remember that we are talking about directed graph, and that a good practice is to give the direction of the property in its name, thus the hasXXX or the isXXXOf pattern. > Based on that, if we were starting from scratch I'd argue for > dcat:hasDataset or dcat:includesDataset but it may be too late now. Why would it be too late? This is last Call. So this is the time. After, rec, this would be too late. Best regards.
