nif:opinion vs marl:extractedFrom

[VladimirAlexiev]

NIF integrates MARL using property nif:opinion from nif:String to marl:Opinion. But that's declared inverseOf marl:extractedFrom, which in the MARL example points to sioc:Post (not the nif:String content of the post). So something doesn't mesh here. We could mix sioc and nif properties on the comment URL, but then nif:sourceUrl points to itself...

@base <http://example.com/blog/1/>

# assume theres's a blog post at the base URL, and some comments about it
<> a sioc:Post
  sioc:content "Germany is the work horse of the European Union".
<comment/1> a sioc:Post; # sic: there's no sioc:Comment, they are simply a sort of sioc:Post
  sioc:reply_of <>;
  sioc:has_creator <http://example.com/users/Hans>;
  sioc:content "Yes, we Germans are the hardest-working people in the world".
<comment/2> a sioc:Post;
  sioc:reply_of <>;
  sioc:has_creator <http://example.com/users/Dimitrios>;
  sioc:content "Bullshit! We Greeks are harder-working".

# The MARL example http://marl.gi2mo.org/0.2/ns.html#s32 represents the opinions like this:
<opinion/1> a marl:Opinion;
  marl:extractedFrom <comment/1>;
  marl:describesObject <>;
  marl:opinionText "Yes";
  marl:polarityValue 0.9;
  marl:minPolarityValue -1;
  marl:maxPolarityValue 1;
  marl:hasPolarity marl:Positive.
<opinion/2> a marl:Opinion;
  marl:extractedFrom <comment/2>;
  marl:describesObject <>;
  marl:opinionText "Bullshit!";
  marl:polarityValue -1;
  marl:minPolarityValue -1;
  marl:maxPolarityValue 1;
  marl:hasPolarity marl:Negative.

I believe there should at least some kind of reasons why everyone thinks they are so hard working. This actually would say who's hard working the most.

For the record, I'm neither German nor Greek. This above is a joking example.
