Martin, I have 2 problems with your answer. 1) You explain that we cannot infer that the PropertyValue (itemId "data") is of type GearboxTypeValue - OK But that's not what I asked: >> if propertyID is the URI of a property, then the value of the "value property" is of type in the range of propertyID So, from this: > <link itemprop="value" href="http://purl.org/vvo/ns#GearboxDSG" />VW DSG > <link itemprop="propertyID" href="http://purl.org/vvo/ns#gearbox" /> am I correct in deducing that the type of http://purl.org/vvo/ns#GearboxDSG is in the range of http://purl.org/vvo/ns#gearbox? This is not stated in the documentation about propertyID, but I think it could (and should). 2) Now, in the general case of PropertyValue, I understand that formally the PropertyValue and the value are 2 different things (cf MartinHeppThePerson and MartinHeppAsAPropertyValue in an earlier message). But in the case of product features, I see no harm in saying that a feature is a PropertyValue: <div itemtype="http://schema.org/Car" itemid="car"> <img itemprop="image" src="station_waggon123.jpg" /> <span itemprop="name">Station Waggon 123</span> <div itemprop="feature" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Feature" itemid="http://purl.org/vvo/ns#GearboxDSG"> <span itemprop="propertyName">Gearbox Type</span>: <span itemprop="name">VW DSG</span>: <link itemprop="propertyID" href="http://purl.org/vvo/ns#gearbox" /> </div> </div> Same number of lines as in your code, but one resource less. You can be sure that people will be at least disoriented if there are 2 distinct resources for almost the same thing. BTW, we could save one line: <div itemtype="http://schema.org/Car" itemid="car"> <img itemprop="image" src="station_waggon123.jpg" /> <span itemprop="name">Station Waggon 123</span> <div itemprop="feature" itemscope itemtype="http://purl.org/vvo/ns#GearboxTypeValue" itemid="http://purl.org/vvo/ns#GearboxDSG"> <span itemprop="propertyName">Gearbox Type</span>: <span itemprop="name">VW DSG</span>: </div> </div> The data that we publish at Renault looks like this fps Le 3 mai 2014 à 01:50, "martin.hepp@ebusiness-unibw.org" <martin.hepp@ebusiness-unibw.org> a écrit : > Actually, no - I may have been unclear, but you are mixing the markup data with data that you can derive from the markup data. > > Using propertyID with the URI of a Web vocabulary does not imply that the value entity has the type defined as the range for that property. > >> >> here, propertyID points to http://purl.org/vvo/ns#gearbox, which clearly identifies the property "have gearbox type", whose range is http://purl.org/vvo/ns#GearboxTypeValue (which could be very be passed in the itemtype in addition to or in place of http://schema.org/PropertyValue) > > <div itemtype="http://schema.org/Car" itemid="car"> > <img itemprop="image" src="station_waggon123.jpg" /> > <span itemprop="name">Station Waggon 123</span> > <div itemprop="additionalProperty" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/PropertyValue" itemid="data"> > <span itemprop="name">Gearbox Type</span>: > <link itemprop="value" href="http://purl.org/vvo/ns#GearboxDSG" />VW DSG > <link itemprop="propertyID" href="http://purl.org/vvo/ns#gearbox" /> > </div> > </div> > > does not (formally) imply that the http://schema.org/PropertyValue node is also of the type http://purl.org/vvo/ns#GearboxTypeValue. > > You can of course write a heuristic, e.g. as a SPARQL CONSTRUCT rule that say that if you find the above structure, then you should translate this to > > :car <http://purl.org/vvo/ns#gearbox> http://purl.org/vvo/ns#GearboxDSG . > > But the PropertyValue is not directly that entity. > > So it would not be correct to infer > > :data rdf:type http://purl.org/vvo/ns#GearboxTypeValue. > > Because http://purl.org/vvo/ns#GearboxTypeValue is the type for http://purl.org/vvo/ns#GearboxDSG, but not for the PropertyValue entity :data. > > Martin > > On 03 May 2014, at 01:16, Francois-Paul Servant <francoispaulservant@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi Martin, >> >> Le 3 mai 2014 à 00:02, martin.hepp@ebusiness-unibw.org a écrit : >> >>> Dear Francois-Paul: >>> On 01 May 2014, at 19:24, Francois-Paul Servant <francoispaulservant@gmail.com> wrote: >>> >>>> Thad, >>>> >>>> not sure to fully understand you here. >>>>> does propertyID always infer the idea of a Kind or Type ? >>>> I'd say that if propertyID is the URI of a property, then the "idea of a Kind or Type" you mention would be the range of the property in question. >>>> >>> >>> >>> No, propertyID can be >>> >>> a) a prefixed string, mainly meant to standards for product properties, like eClass; >>> b) a site-specific, non-prefixed string (e.g. the primary key of the property, the vendor-specific id of the property.

I did not get the feeling from looking through the proposal that it could also be used to hold Kinds, Types, Contexts, etc. I instead got the feeling that it was to be used for identifiers... ah looking at it again... now I see... so ... what is the eClass representation of this in reality ? >>>>> >>>>> <meta itemprop="propertyID" content="eclass81:02-AAM226"> >>>>> >>>>> is that content equate to some Kind or Type ? ... does propertyID always infer the idea of a Kind or Type ? if not, ... how does one infer a Kind or Type in Martins proposal ? >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> I have a box...that has "some KIND of Feature" ... how do I express that Feature KIND...that many of my boxes would share ?

My only concern is the following: it must allow to use a URI for the object of the property (the "feature") when we have one, (and minting one should be encouraged otherwise), because this allows to publish data as they are, and to lift them later. >>>>> >>>>> Best, >>>>> >>>>> fps >>>>> >>>>> Le 1 mai 2014 à 16:53, Thad Guidry <thadguidry@gmail.com> a écrit : >>>>> >>>>>> Francois, >>>>>> >>>>>> That's because this: >>>>>> >>>>>> foo:YourBook schema:additionalProperty x:MartinHeppThePerson. >>>>>> >>>>>> is missing the sub-property for the right context...
