Specifically regarding dcterms:type: It looks like the range is http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#Class. I think perhaps dcterms:type predated rdf:type and now is redundant.
I see this explaination here: http://dublincore.org/documents/dc-rdf/ "The property dcterms:type has semantics very similar to rdf:type. At the time of writing, the precise relationship between those properties remains undecided. It is recommended that RDF applications implementing this specification primarily use and understand rdf:type in place of dcterms:type when expressing Dublin Core metadata in RDF, as most RDF processors come with built-in knowledge of rdf:type." The OSLC-CM spec uses dcterms:type as a label for the type, but I'm not sure that's right. -- Best Regards, Samuel Padgett | IBM Rational | [email protected] From: Andrew J Berner/Dallas/IBM@IBMUS To: John Arwe/Poughkeepsie/IBM@IBMUS, Cc: [email protected], [email protected] Date: 11/15/2011 03:06 PM Subject: Re: [oslc-core] was dcterms:type intentionally omitted from Core's common properties?

That's not a core property, but does use dcterms:type. _______________________________________________ Oslc-Core mailing list [email protected] http://open-services.net/mailman/listinfo/oslc-core_open-services.net
