Re: LOV (was Re: Cultural Heritage Data)

Hi Hugh,

actually, LOV states there is a relation between AKT and DC of type
*voaf:metadataVoc
*and not reliesOn* *(
http://labs.mondeca.com/dataset/lov/details/vocabulary_akt.html )
This relation means AKT vocabulary uses DC to describe its own metadata
(like dc:title, etc.)

I agree that one can easily confuse colors :)

voaf:reliesOn is a very general relation and is practically never used.
Instead we prefer some more meaningful relations (reliesOn subproperties)
