RE: Feedback

Resources may have multiple occurrences, as subjects, predicates and objects. Regarding Kinds, for example for a given Subject, it SubjectKinds will be the set of all Predicate attributes and Object values according their occurrences in triples where there is that Subject (the set with kinds attrs/values intersection is populated from source triples correspondingly). Then aggregation is done for class / metaclass inference.

I see. This may be the first intelligible explanation about “kinds” that I’ve read (well, aside from the part in parenthesis, and what follows). Regardless, the venn-diagram still seems inaccurate, since it indicates that subject-kinds include all resources occurring both as predicates and objects – not the set of all predicate attributes and object values occurring in triples with a particular subject.

To avoid burdening the mailing lists I stand by my previous suggestion:

I would separate out this aspect and start from scratch to 1) indicate what they precisely represent (no wishy-washy statements, but rather concretely and formally define them), and 2) explain the need for them, i.e., why they would be a useful addition to meta-vocabularies such as RDF(S)/OWL.

A complete rewrite, focusing on one aspect at a time, could be of great benefit.
