Re: RDF Data Shapes minutes for 9 July 2015

Arnaud,

The minutes omit the example I gave:

aryman: the requirement of certain properties may depend on context
... ... some example ...
... the problems show up if there is a data loop

The point is that having an rdf:type is not enough to determine the
shape since in some graphs the triples present depend on the context.
A good example is a contacts document. The primary topic of a contact
document is a person and the document contains many properties about
that person (name, email, telephone), including other people known to
the primary person. The primary person and the people they know might
have rdf:type foaf:Person, but the people known by the primary person
might just have foaf:name properties. The primary person has a
different shape than the people known to the primary person.
