Re: [Time sensitive] property names

Hi Phil,

Technically the group the group has approved something with dqv:metric so we can do many things :p
More seriously: I hope my mail was clear that at this stage, I don't have any preference, and I'm quite frustrated not to have any clear idea, what is best.
I'll see if I can come up with a note&issue that would reflect this, and then you can tell me if it can be included or not.
In the meantime of course the group is more than welcome to chime in on the matter of these property names!

Cheers,

Antoine
