Hi George, all,

As part of Linked Conservation Data (and with the help of Carlo, Martin and Steve) we proposed the idea of Typed Properties which derive from current CRM properties and always have E55 Type as range.

E.g. "bears feature" → "bears feature of type" so that one can describe the type of something without specifying the individual. It is very economical in conservation where we want to avoid describing hundreds of individuals of similar types.

We are still baking the exact impact of such a reduction from individuals to Types. One issue in RDFS is the multitude of new properties. There seems to be a simple implementation in OWL with property paths. Not an immediate solution but a flag for more to come.

All the best,

Thanasis

Hi all,

I have situations in which I have events where the data curators describe events for which they have generic knowledge of the outcome: sold, completed, incomplete, this sort of thing. So there is knowledge but it is not knowledge of the particular next event but of a general kind of outcome.

We have properties like: P21 had general purpose (was purpose of) which is very useful for when the data curator only has generic knowledge knowledge and not particular knowledge regarding purpose. This seems a parallel to this case.

Anybody else have this case and have an interest in a property like 'had general outcome' or 'had outcome of type' that goes from Event to a Type? Or, better yet if possible, a solution that doesn't involve a new property but that does meet this semantic need without too many contortions?

Best,

George
