BP-Rec. 9: The underlying logic of semantic artefacts should be grounded on the domain it intends to describe

Description

Semantic artefacts are developed within research communities and represent a specific and restricted domain of discourse. Reuse of such ontologies by stakeholders outside of the community raises questions regarding the relations between the ontologies and scientific domains. When reusing ontologies, practitioners should strive to choose semantic artefacts with highest precision (e.g. existence of information cardinality and value), the most well defined documentation including information regarding cardinality and value type when applicable.

Whenever the semantic artefact is reused, it should be extended in granularity depending on use-case. This implies that the re-user should adhere to the same design principle.

Existing recommendations : N/A

Stakeholder : Practitioner

The description and the title appear to be incongruent. The intent seems to be about enabling Re-use.

I think the title of the BP is problematic and needs to be recast in "everyday" concerns - so a reader can find their way into the detail rather than require full understanding of the terminology to identify the actual scope of the BP.
