Re: ISSUE-81: Final names of property pair constraints?

Karen,

I believe the constraints in Holger's email are for comparing object values of triples with the same subject and two different predicates.

What constraints are you taking about?

Those for the same subjects or for different subjects (such as two resources can't have the same pref label)?

If it is for the same subject and the idea is to say that the values for prop1, prop2, prop3, ..., propN must be all the same or all different, then may be it could accomplished with Equal and NotEqual constraints by allowing an arbitrary number of arguments.

Then, bringing in the language tag consideration is another story - I would think this requires another, somewhat different set of constraints.

If it is about different subjects, then I think this is yet another set of constraints.

The more situations we will try to cover, the larger the language grows. In theory not an issue, perhaps, but in practice it is - as this becomes too big of a task for a small number of active working group participants to identify, name, design, discuss, implement, etc. Thus, a suggestion to put some basics in place and to enable the extended community to build and socialize additional constraints.

Since this is a common case, we should probably detail it and make sure that it is covered. However, the point was to ask what happens to comparisons that are >2, and to point out that sometimes that number can be large, such as where different language versions are used, since the actual number of potential languages (cf. Wikipedia) is in the hundreds, at least.
