publish the Sinopia vocabulary in RDF

An RDF representation of the Sinopia Vocabulary will go farther than human-readable term descriptions in answering questions about how Sinopia RDF resource templates work
An RDF representation could help inform ShEx, SHACL, or other validation code to assist in encoding Sinopia RDF resource templates

use OWL?

Curious to hear from the developers on this.

I wonder if RDF Schema might do the job for the Sinopia Vocabulary. But this is a result of my own limited experience--we have published a handful of local classes and properties here, and RDF Schema has been sufficient for modeling most everything up to now. I think we've just used a very small handful of OWL terms like sameAs and versionInfo, and most of these in resource descriptions, not vocabs.

I do note that the Sinopia vocab includes some terms like http://sinopia.io/vocabulary/propertyType/literal, http://sinopia.io/vocabulary/propertyType/resource, and http://sinopia.io/vocabulary/propertyType/uri that seem like they may be more like skos:Concepts than rdfs:Classes (? but I'm not sure about this).
