Re: Asset as superclass of Policy / Asset not superclass of Policy. Asset same as Thing.

The text currently reads:

“The Asset entity is aimed at identifying the content that is the subject of an ODRL policy, e.g. a media file or ebook. Furthermore, it can be used to represent other Asset entities that are needed to undertake the Policy expression, such as with the Duty entity. The Asset entity is referred to by the Permission and/or Prohibition entities, and also by the Duty entity.”

I would perhaps add a statement to the effect of...

“Where a particular expression of an ODRL policy takes the form of a vocabulary used within a broader context, Asset should be aligned with a generic class in that context. For example, the RDF expression of ODRL considers Asset to be equivalent to owl:Thing.”

Feel free to adjust the words to suit!
