Re: Comments on PROF

Thanks Leslie,

I’m adding these comments to the public pool of comments via this reply to the mailing list.

Yes, we do think that subclasses of Profile would be interesting so you’ve supported that idea.

Regarding "Domain and range declarations could still be added.”:

Which properties did you have in mind? 

The important property prof:isProfileOf has such declarations, as does prof:isTransitiveProfileOf, prof:hasToken, prof:hasRole & prof:isInheritedFrom.

So the only PROF properties, as opposed to the Dublin Core dc:format & dct:coformsTo which we reuse, that we don’t declare both a domain and range for are prof:hasResource & prof:hasArtifact for which we only declare ranges. These properties are somewhat generic - indicating resources of various sorts - so they could be used to describe ResourceDescriptors, as per the PROF intention - but perhaps also other things, hence the not stated domain. I don’t see a strong need to change this.

Thanks,

Nick
