reposition identifiers #91

Closed micheldumontier closed 3 years ago

micheldumontier commented 3 years ago

mark wilkinson indicated that identifier is poorly positioned in SIO, because it is positioned as a subclass of a visual language entity. arguably, a visual language entity should be restricted to only those things that are visually observed, rather than those that could be observed.

"label" is also a subclass of textual entity, but arguably, not necessarily a "textual entity" from the perspective of SIO, for which subclasses are more document oriented.

the proposal then is to move "label" (and consequently its subclass "identifier") out of "textual entity" and as a subclass of "language entity". simultaneously, move textual entity out of visual language entity into a subclass of language entity.
