publish the Sinopia vocabulary in RDF

[briesenberg07]

• 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).
