participates in at some time URI re-used with different meaning #163

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
BFO_0000056 was re-used in BFO2 for "participates in at some time". This URI 
was previously used for atemporal participates_in.

I request that BFO2 mints a new URI for this as the meaning may be different 
depending on how atemporal relations are ultimately interpreted.

If we changed the temporalization we would mint a new id anyways. So I think 
should only be evaluated based on the current temporalization.

I'm not sure I understand.

Basically I would like to keep using BFO_0000056 for "participates in" 
(atemporal). This is problematic at the moment. I don't think it would cause 
too much churn to use a different URI for the temporalized form - I think only 
hdot uses BFO2.

However, if BFO2 really wants to claim BFO_0000056 I will mint a RO ID for the 
atemporal one.

To clarify: We generally commit to create new ids when the meaning changes. If 
we used a different temporalization scheme then the meaning would change. 
Therefore there isn't a possibility of the meaning shifting under your feet. 

If one of us has to change ids, it is less churn to change BFO 2.

I think it appropriate, however, to offer at least a plausibility argument 
about why that semantics isn't consistent with the atemporal version.

As Jie has verified that RO has already redefined these relations with RO ids, 
We will keep this IRI in BFO.  

(Alan)It is a shame to have this divergence which has no clear benefit.
