Dear Edd, I'm following up on a very old discussion relating to representing "software" as individual instances of a "project". We would need an actual software class, for instance to represent such listings: - <http://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/complete> A property such as "release" could be useful if its range is a class representing software, which could be a subclass of "project". Do you have any updated thoughts on this? Best, Shadi On 17.3.2006 22:34, Edd Dumbill wrote: > Sorry for the delay in responding.
