Hi Shadi, > Ref: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/20070524.html> >[...] > Last but not least, foaf:homepage now has a range of foaf:Document which > is both marked "testing" and not really well defined. I'm not sure if > our current use to point to a Web page as a resource is correct. We also > need to check this with Danbri. IMO if our current use to point to a Web page is not correct, then there is an obvious problem with the label they choose for the property in the specification. Anyway I think this is not the case as they explicitly say "We do not (currently) distinguish precisely between physical and electronic documents..." even with the weird definition of homepage as "... is a public Web document, typically ***but not necessarily*** available in HTML format..." (Emphasis mine) Word documents or physical paper documents as homepages?, it sounds really strange for me. >[...] > Q1- Should we drop earl:CompoundAssertor in favor of foaf:Group? -That > would make earl:SingleAssertor unnecessary and the whole construct would > collapse to an earl:Assertor that is either earl:Software or foaf:Agent. The only problem would be that we'll loose the distinction between main and help Assertors, even taking into consideration that part of this distinction could also been seen with the (optional) test modes. > Q2- Are there any changes to the identifiers that we need to identify > foaf:Agent, foaf:Person, and foaf:Organization? Right now we are using > foaf:name and foaf:sha1_sum but as mentioned above there are others too. Don't think so, I think that foaf:name, foaf:homepage and foaf:sha1_sum (or foaf:mbox) are sufficient and the most proper among those that are available.
