There are several problems with even this portion of the proposal. 1/ Sports are of type text in the proposal. This is problematic in and of itself. Using well-known URIs in the example makes the situation much worse. There should be a type for sports, and relationships between sports. 2/ The National Football Conference is not a member of the National Football League. It should be a sub-organization. 3/ Athlete is the wrong name for the relationship between a sports team and its players. Many sports teams have athletes working for them who do not perform in sporting contests that the team participates in. I would suggest that player is a much better name for this relationship. 4/ Both coach and athlete/player should be subproperties of member. 5/ The name for the relationship between a sports organization and the sport that it plays is too generic. I would suggest something much more evocative of the relationship, for example sportPlayed. On a lighter note, I see that you have excluded baseball from sports, as baseball teams do not have any athletes. :-) peter On 09/17/2014 01:41 PM, Jason Johnson (BING) wrote: > Hi All, > > In the interests of/'pushing something out is better than nothing'/we are > going to slice up the 2014 Sports Vocab proposal into three distinct parts. > > This first part will be a 'Sports Agents Vocab' and focus on describing sports > organizations and athletes.
