Hi, We need to find a replacement for the (non-existing) dc:location property in the following EARL classes: * earl:Software (which may be replaced by dctype:Software) * earl:WebContent There are currently two candidates for replacement: * dc:identifier: - description: <http://www.dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#identifier> - RDF Schema: <http://dublincore.org/2003/03/24/dces#> - Comment: it is a more generic meaning of a mean of identifying something * dcterm:URI: - description: <http://www.dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#URI> - RDF Schema: <http://dublincore.org/2005/06/13/dcq#> - Comment: means URI as defined by <http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt> It may also make sense to adopt both these properties. For example, "identifier" could be more generic such as an internal build version for a software (which is different from be public version number); and "URI" should really only mean the Web location where applicable. Which ever we decide, we should make sure that we have a solid definition for the usage of these properties in the context of EARL to avoid ambiguity. What is your opinion?
