Arthur, et al. - This is indeed the approach that was taken in the development of the Dublin Core Application Profiles (DCAP) [1] and the related constraint language [2]. This approach especially important for resources that can be of interest to a number of widely diverse communities (e.g. geographical information; bibliographic information; information about people, living or dead) who describe those resources independently of each other. In these situations one must respect the defined ontology semantics in the open world. What one chooses to do in their own closed world should stay in that closed world.
