Moving some PROF material to an "advanced" section? #19

Open aisaac opened 5 years ago

aisaac commented 5 years ago

In w3c/dxwg#642 I have expressed a concerned that some properties (at prof:transitiveProfileOf) look like 'utility properties' that are of lesser interest for most implementers. I.e. these implementers could mint their own property and derived statements with it from other statements, the same way that skos:broaderTransitive is in SKOS. At a minimum, they could be kept for amateurs only ;-) and put in an "advanced" section.

@andrea-perego and @akuckartz have expressed some level of support.

Of course this is not an urgent issue, perhaps not even in the medium term, but it would be nice to help readers get a better feeling of the level of 'core-ness' of the various PROF properties.

Just flagging that we only have 3 new classes and 7 new properties in the vocab, so it's pretty odd to have a core for such a small thing.

aisaac commented 5 years ago

@nicholascar I agree and this is why I have put brackets around 'core' here. I think it's only an editorial matter - structuring the spec documents so that readers see first the important stuff. prof:transitiveProfileOf tells a story that could be useful, but that is not going to impact a lot of use cases, and that most spec readers could live without.
