So the policy seems to address a case that will never occur anyway. DCAT has a single namespace that contains both classes and properties, so the concerns are different. > Can you refer to cases where vocabularies use the same name for a class and a property with only difference in case? Among those I've worked with, SWRC, Bio and MO all do it. I'm sure there's others. > I looked at other vocabularies (FOAF, VOID, SKOS, GoodRelations, DOAP, MO, RDFS) and none of them seem to do this. You didn't look very carefully, Makx! MO has mo:Track and mo:track, mo:Record and mo:record. Best, Richard
