Guidelines for what a Policy or a Rule subclass may define #8

Closed nitmws closed 3 years ago

nitmws commented 5 years ago

Currently I'm working on the Profile Best Practices document.

The ODRL 2.2 Recommendation allows in its Profile Mechanism to define subclasses of Policy of of Rule for a Profile. But unfortunately the rules or guidelines how to subclass these two classes are vague:

This may let makers of a Profile conclude that anything not violating the rules of OWL classes, RDFS Subclasses and of these "outlines" above can be done. It would be great to give a clearer guidelines in the Best Practices document.

Please have a look at the sections "Defining a subclass of Policy allows:" and "Defining a subclass of Rule allows:" if this covers your understanding of how to define such subclasses.
