I noticed that you coin two properties

ror:resource

(A resource or object associated with this resource)

ror:resourceOf

(A resource or object this resource is associated with (inverse property of
resource))

Is that necessary? Aren't these two properties for the same relationship type?
i.e. ror:resource is its own inverse? I didn't really understand what was
gained by defining two properties.

And I think ror:resource is equivalent to dc:relation in the DC vocabulary.
