It aims instead to clarify the circumstances in which different communities of practice may draw different conclusions about the content of a document on the web, and how to avoid this by having clear definitions for the properties you use when publishing data that uses URIs.

To avoid misinterpretation and misuse, and particularly where there's the possibility of ambiguity (eg 'license' or 'creator'), vocabulary authors should state whether a given property applies to the content retrieved from the subject URI or to something that content describes.
