Agreed. However, we codified the DPV with the intention of providing a taxonomy (hence the hierarchy of concepts!) so there isn't change in the concepts or work per-se. Or am I missing your point here? > If you want to better define the ontology as a data model... why dont > you define some RDF Shapes instead?

Instead of data model, I should have said ontological modelling of data i.e. ontology. I was trying to refer to what we currently have as personal data handling. (SHACL/ShEx) Shapes (AFAIK) are good to express constraints or even queries (if we extend their gambit) - but they still need an ontological model consisting of classes and properties. My point was that the taxonomy is separate from this ontological model i.e. PersonalDataHandling doesn't really care much for the taxonomy except for existence of top-level concepts (E.g. Personal Data, Purpose). So we can have the taxonomy (in SKOS) + ontology (in OWL-DL). I agree we should be specifying some list of patterns showing use. This is exactly why I brought this issue in connection with specifying examples of the DPV. > > 2) Not important and I am totally out of context but in the example > below... doesn't make sense simply declaring this? > :x a :Email . This is fine if we wanted to refer to an instance of Email. But the other use-case is problematic: referring to Email itself i.e. saying "we collect (all/any) email" and not just a specific email (which is what the triple specifies). -- --- Harshvardhan Pandit, Ph.D Researcher at ADAPT Centre, Trinity College Dublin https://harshp.com/research/
