vastly improve the description of dco:hasParameter #20

Open mrpatrickwest opened 9 years ago

mrpatrickwest commented 9 years ago

Using the term to define itself isn't helpful. And if you look at dco:Parameter it says basically the same thing. What is a parameter? Why does a data type have parameters?

dco:hasParameter
      a       owl:ObjectProperty ;
      rdfs:comment "Using this property to link between a data type and its parameters." ;
      rdfs:domain dco:DataType ;
      rdfs:label "has parameter" ;
      rdfs:range dco:Parameter .

dco:Parameter
      a       dco:Object , prov:Entity , owl:Class ;
      rdfs:comment "A data type may consist of a list of parameters." ;
      rdfs:label "Parameter"@en-US ;
      rdfs:subClassOf dco:Object , prov:Entity ;
      skos:definition "An input variable of a data type." .
