I have been wondering about how to best represent different types of web pages or rdf resources. I think it is useful to represent some pages like Wikipedia pages as subclasses of foaf:document. This is because I would like to be able to easily query for the Wikipedia pages for a taxon without getting the Bugguide pages etc. The geonames ontology does this for Wikipedia pages about a Feature. Also, this might be useful in assigning levels of "trust" to pages on different sites. Similarly, I have the same issue with linkeddata resources. I would like to distinguish between a bio2rdftaxon resource, a dbpedia resource, and a uBioLSID resource. I have done this in my ontology by making subclasses of foaf:document. The problem with this strategy is that unless you also download my ontology these relationships are not obvious. What is the current thinking about this approach?
