RE: Difference between owl:onDataRange and owl:onDataType

Hi!

One option to consider would be to not have a separate URI "owl:onDataRange" for the data-QCRs, but instead reuse "owl:onClass". Would perhaps look a bit confusing (too), but from a first look I don't see any technical problems (are there any?).

However, I do *NOT* propose this to be changed before WD publication. :-)
