constraints in the core vocabularies #12

Closed giorgialodi closed 2 years ago

giorgialodi commented 3 years ago

if it is core vocabulary, constraints should not be indicated, right? At least in the other vocabularies there are no constraints at all in the object properties while in this vocabulary they are indicated. I would be uniform with respect to the others.

Agree that multiplicity/cardinality constraints should not be present in core vocabularies

In general, Core Vocabularies do indeed not impose cardinalities. However, in the original version of Core Business, some cardinalities were included, as it was deemed, at that time, that a Legal Entity should have a legal identifier, as that is the key characteristic that makes it a Legal Entity.

During the Core Vocs webinar dd. 2021-04-23, it was however argued that this kind of reasoning could be applied to other properties in the Core Vocabularies as well. The participants therefore agreed with the proposition to remove all cardinalities.

On a side note, there was also a proposition to create two versions: one with and one without cardinalities.

It can be closed, the consolidated diagram should not have any cardinalities: https://github.com/SEMICeu/Core-Business-Vocabulary/tree/master/releases/2.00
