Re: [dxwg] ShEx community comment on resource descriptor (#794)

The key point is to allow the set of roles to evolve on a different timescale to the ontology. 

The proposed solution is a 'soft-typing' mechanism where an association object is 'tagged' with a value from a (controlled-)vocabulary. Alternatively, the set of roles could be managed as a set of sub-properties of the primary relation. 

People approaching the requirement from different heritages tend to prefer one or the other, though in the RDF context there is little practical difference between them, particularly as you can define schema-level (t-box) components at run-time (i.e. embedded within the a-box graph).
