Dear Felicja, The intended meaning of the property rdfs:label is explained in the recommendation RDF Schema [1]. The property should be used to provide a human readable name for a resource. It very often happens that rdfs:label (like all standard properties) is missused. Considering the intended meaning of rdfs:label, one should not use camelCase or underscore_names as a label, IMHO. Yet, what "human-readable" means is subject to interpretation and one could argue that camelCase identifiers are perfectly human-readable. Best, --AZ [1] Dan Brickley, R.V. Guha (eds.). RDF Schema 1.1, W3C Recommendation 25 February 2014. Section 3.6, rdfs:label. https://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-schema/#ch_label Le 27/08/2016 23:18, Felicja Sobczyk a écrit : > Excuse me, what is the intended usage of rdfs:label? > What the currently deployed software expects from the property value? > > By examining RDF, RDF Schema and OWL2 vocabularies, I can see that all > terms contain their local names as their labels.
