Hi Margherita,

Thank you very much for your feedback! this is very much appreciated, 
and useful.

Basically this third solution [3]  would allow for people to opt for the 
first solution (term-as-class) or the sandard (label as literal) one. In 
whatever case, the proposal says how to convert from term-as-class 
representation to standard, and vice versa, so as to be compatible with 
the tools that could be produced following either approach.

Cheers,

Antoine
