Digital Twin ontology: Document as a subclass of a new concept DigitalObject? #16

Open ocorcho opened 2 years ago

While trying to use the Document class in the DigitalTwin ontology, we have realised that it is a subclass of PhysicalObject. While this may be valid in cases where we want to represent a physical document (e.g., a CMR printed on paper), most probably this is not the most typical use case, and we would really like to refer to a digital document (e.g., as described in schema.org/DigitalDocument).

Would it make sense to create a new concept DigitalDocument as a subclass of a new concept DigitalObject in this ontology, and rename the current Document to PhysicalDocument if we want to keep it?
