Policy on plurals #20

Closed JDureau closed 10 years ago

JDureau commented 10 years ago

Not sure this question belongs to here, but I wanted to check what's your view on the use of plurals. On schema.org, descriptors are usually duplicated with and without the 's', and the following piece is added to the plural description:

(legacy spelling; see singular form,)

Are we going to stick to that policy? Does it imply both descriptors can be used interchangeably?

Thanks.

not sure we want to weigh in on this (if i get your meaning). I think it's up to designers to decide how they want to handle profile authoring.

Unless this is about translating from Schema.org specirfically....

Seems ideally we should translate all existing libraries in ALPS, have the appropriate links back to schema.org where you can find those nuances. But past that, I am with @mamund that in terms of a profile, the author makes the call.

Ok, perfect, thanks for your answer!
