Hi James, I think that multiple conversations are touching the very issue: it's connecting to the discussion on identifiers. In his introduction, Paolo has defined these relations as being between two records (i.e. two descriptions). However, later on, the same terminology is no longer used.

I can rationalize alternateOf as saying that "e1 and e2 refer to the same thing", which is almost what Luc wrote, but to rationalize specializationOf I need e1 and e2 to refer to descriptions, not things themselves. (I think it is this distinction that is one of the root causes of confusion here.) > > --James > > On Jan 16, 2012, at 4:06 PM, Paolo Missier wrote: > > >> thing (we just crossed in the mail) >> -Paolo >> >> On 1/16/12 4:03 PM, Luc Moreau wrote: >> >>> Hi James, >>> >>> >>> To add on to this, did we really mean >>> >>> e1 and e2 provide two different characterization of the same entity >>> >>> or did we mean >>> >>> e1 and e2 provide two different characterization of the same THING? >>> >>> Luc >>> >>> >> >> >> > > -- Professor Luc Moreau Electronics and Computer Science tel: +44 23 8059 4487 University of Southampton fax: +44 23 8059 2865 Southampton SO17 1BJ email: l.moreau@ecs.soton.ac.uk United Kingdom http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~lavm
