a first proposal for Issue-205

Dear all,

Following the discussion we had  last friday's call concerning issue-205,
https://www.w3.org/2013/dwbp/track/issues/205,
a first   proposal we might discuss  in order to turn  metrics,  dimensions
and categories into a skos hierarchy  is the following


Proposal 1: Let’s define
-dqv:hasDimension and  dqv:hasCategory as subproperties
(rdfs:subPropertyOf)  of skos:broader;
-dqv:Category,  dqv:Dimension, dqv:Metric  as subclasses of
(rdfs:subClassOf) skos:Concept.


In this way, we have that every  user-defined   category/ dimension/ metric
hierarchy  is automatically mapped into a SKOS hierarchy. At the same time,
 this proposal  remains “back-compatible” with DAQ,  since we  have
 dqv:Category,  dqv:Dimension, dqv:Metric  still mapped into their
corresponding   DAQ's metric, dimension, and category.


What do you think? Does this work? any refinement?

Cheers,

Riccardo
