change dco:expectedUsers to something more specific for data types #13

Open mrpatrickwest opened 9 years ago

mrpatrickwest commented 9 years ago

expectedUsers is a very broad term for such a specific usage. Should be changed to something else.

FYI here is the definition for the property in question:

dco:expectedUses
      a       owl:DatatypeProperty ;
      rdfs:comment "Using this property to describe any additional constraints, comments or notes about a data type." ;
      rdfs:domain dco:DataType ;
      rdfs:label "expected uses" ;
      rdfs:range xsd:string .

@mrpatrickwest Do you have a proposed new definition? (this is a change proposal :wink: )

mrpatrickwest commented 9 years ago

dco:expectedUsesOfDataType question mark.

expectedUses seems very broad term. The expected uses of a sensor. The expected uses of the DCO cluster. The expected uses of an instrument.

Whereas expectedUsesOfDataType is more specific

Based on the extremely broad definition of the property, I wonder if rdfs:commentis sufficient for this need?

zednis commented 9 years ago

I think my counter-proposal is to remove this property entirely and use rdfs:comment for the purposes mentioned in the property definition.
