Hi All, I'm curious to know how verbose you are when it comes to publishing linked data, specifically in regards to setting the rdf:type of things we describe, and with consideration for what I can only call secondary resources, things that we aren't primarily describing. An example may be (although please consider all data you publish): :me a foaf:Person; #typed foaf:knows x:joe . x:joe foaf:name "Joe" . #untyped, needs inferred or dereferenced I'm asking because for those who are familiar with ontologies they use - knowing the domain and range of the common properties - then it may be a common pattern (even instinctively) to publish data with the consideration that consuming clients will have the same, or at least some, awareness of the ontologies too - i.e. can do some inferring. I guess one could also include awareness for owl:sameAs relations, inverse functional properties, and perhaps the most common of all, publishing data without strict ^^ datatypes. Thus, if data is being published in this way, and it's more than a minor edge case, then consideration for these factors may need to be added to clients sooner rather than later. Many thanks in advance for any responses, Nathan
