Hi,
sorry if this is not the correct forum for this question.
We are describing resources by (almost randomly) picking suitable
properties from various schemes, for example FOAF, Dublin Core, Nepomuk
and Organization ontology.
If a scheme defines class for the property, should the resource which is
being described be always defined as such?
Example:
?doc a http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Document ,
dcterms:title "Some document title" ,
http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/03/22/nfo/#wordCount 93 ;
Is this good practise, or should the resource be also defined as
nfo:InformationElement:
?doc a http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Document ,
a
http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/03/22/nfo/#InformationElement
,
dcterms:title "Some document title" ,
http://www.semanticdesktop.org/ontologies/2007/03/22/nfo/#wordCount 93 ;
Reason I'm asking is while this is a short example, things can become
complicated when more schemes are used. And the classes of various
schemes don't always mean exactly the same thing.
Any thoughts or links to existing discussion would be appreciated.
