Even OWL DL users might want to make use of existing vocabularies/ontologies
that use lists as semantic entities. For example, DL folks might want to
make use of SKOS ordered collections, e.g.:
ex:WM2006Heros rdf:type skos:OrderedCollection ;
skos:memberList ( dbpedia:Italy dbpedia:France dbpedia:Germany ) .
where
"The rdfs:range of skos:memberList is the class rdf:List."
(SKOS semantic condition S34). Using a "my:List" wouldn't be very helpful
here.
Does anyone know of any other vocabularies that use RDF lists beyond the use
as argument lists for OWL constructs?
