Quoting Erik Hetzner <ehetz...@gmail.com>:
> Are you talking about the FOAF and FBRR [1] RDF schemas? No. I'm talking about the properties that each has defined. I have a comparison here: http://kcoyle.net/temp/comparePersonVocabs.pdf The vocab.org FRBR schema was NOT developed by the folks who created FRBR and, IMO, it exhibits some misunderstandings of the intentions of the actual developers. So consider that one person's interpretation. IFLA, the "owner" of FRBR, is in the process of defining the properties and classes here: http://metadataregistry.org/schema/show/id/5.html The Person class does not define it as equivalent to FOAF. I know that there are folks who feel that the vocab.org FRBR should be the one used, but it is very different from what IFLA is creating, so we find ourselves with two FRBR's that are only superficially the same. Since IFLA is the maintenance agency for FRBR (and FRBR has changed since the vocab.org version was created and will change even more when integrated with FRAD and FRASAR), I believe that we should take its version seriously. kc > > From the FRBR schema, I read: > > frbr:Person rdf:type owl:Class > owl:equivalentClass foaf:Person . > > I am not sure of the exact semantics of equivalentClass in OWL, but it > seems to mean that a FRBR person is the same as a FOAF person.
