Dave, Joćo, Comments on the proposed diagram, in addition to what Dave said: 1. I understand the semantics of the distinction between gray and white boxes. But why is the Organization class colored differently? Just because it's the most important one? If that's the case, its size and central position are sufficient to communicate that, and it doesn't need to have a different color. 2. I agree with Dave that the diagram looks a bit bland. Can it be made a bit more visually interesting? Rounded corners, drop shadows, anything? 3. Personally I would prefer if the connections that have inverses would have arrows on both ends, rather than on no end. 4. I think the member connection and the hasMember connection both lack an arrow. 5. Minor point regarding the layout: Organization, foaf:Group and foaf:Person have something in common: They are all subclasses of foaf:Person. But in the arrangement, they have nothing in common, and are positioned quite differently. 6. The colors besides black and white should be picked, if possible, from the color palette already used in http://www.w3.org/TR/vocab-org/ , to make it fit in nicely.
