Since the Web of Data is using the Open-World Assumption, the fact that you do not have a triple at hand that refers to a mountain as included in an offer does not imply that it is not rentable etc. It really makes no sense to attach commercial properties to things, they are much better attached to offers that refer to things. That is, in a nutshell, the essence of the GoodRelations conceptual model: That products and offers are best represented as two distinct entities. I am sure this idea had been around before GoodRelations.

So "rentable" implies "presently rentable" not "potentially rentable in the future". So even though it's theoretically possible to rent out a mountain it's not a rentable mountain in my view until the offer exists. > > Anthony > > On Fri, Jul 13, 2018 at 2:34 AM Hans Polak <info@polak.es> wrote: > > On 13/07/18 01:25, Joe Duarte wrote: >> We could easily write a spec mapping the human syntax to machine-readable codes. > > Last time I checked, "easily" was not the case.
