Re: Enumeration values

Hi Dietrich,

I don't like the duplicate hydra:allowedIndividual(s) property. using @type seems intuitive but I guess we don't to have an individual used as a class. So how about simply "hydra:individual"? This would be more in line with supportedProperty/property pair. Also do we already have the hydra:title defined? If not I'd simply used rdfs:label.

{
  "@type": "Property",
  "hydra:allowedIndividual": [
  { "hydra:individual": "EventCancelled", "rdfs:label": "..." },
  { "hydra:individual": "EventPostponed", "rdfs:label": "..." }
  ]
}
