This is a difficult one. I agree with Melanie. I also agree with Rob's
point about implementation but I think rewriting a query from full
code-label to code-only is not too much of an overhead. Plus we should
encourage inference.

So I vote YES.

All the best,

Thanasis

Dear All,

The current text "Expressing the CIDOC Conceptual Reference Model in
RDF"
(https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zCGZ4iBzekcEYo4Dy0hI8CrZ7dTkMD2rJaxavtEOET0/edit?ts=5b50b922)

contains the phrase:
"In addition, for convenience of implementation we have defined
number-only classes and properties e.g. “E63” or “P2”, and declared each
of them to be equivalent to the corresponding full form"

In the past, this option was provided and widely rejected by users. I do
not know of any installation using it.

It was proposed again because CRM-SIG reserves the right to change
labels without changing the code ("E63", "P2" etc.), in cases when the
meaning is preserved but the existing label causes confusion and can be
replaced by a more fitting or at least less confusing one. These changes
are very rare, and explicit in the amendment of the respective version.

Those of you who support:
"In addition, for convenience of implementation we have defined
number-only classes and properties e.g. “E63” or “P2”, and declared each
of them to be equivalent to the corresponding full form"
  please vote *YES.

*Those of you who support:
"The English label is part of the definition of the RDF classes and
properties. Number-only classes and properties e.g. “E63” or “P2”, are
not provided". Other means of supporting migration between label
versions to be discussed.

please vote *NO.

*(Those who believe the issue is not sufficiently formulated please vote
"VETO". One or more "VETO" will stop the e-mail vote as a whole and
postpone it to the next physical meeting)

Best

Martin
