Hi Leigh, Thanks for your feedback.
rdfs:seeAlso is defined as a property that "specifies a resource that might provide additional information about the subject resource."
So I would say using it to link from a pure data element (e.g. a price specification node, a warranty promise, a product, or an offer) to the Web page that describes all of them in one page is in compliance with the RDFS spec. (Note that this also allows pointers from any such element to hash URIs in a human-readable document - with that, users could directly jump e.g. to the warranty section of the page.)
Your suggestion of using http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_isPrimaryTopicOfinstead is a viable option, but I decided against it as the default property for two reasons:
1. First, I did not want to force people to import and use foaf only for this very basic link, in particular as long as a suitable property from the core RDFS vocabulary is available.
2. The status of this property is "testing" only. But is perfectly fine for anybody to attach additional term_isPrimaryTopicOf properties to any conceptual element in GoodRelations data. Martin
Hi, 2009/9/1 Martin Hepp (UniBW) <[email protected]>Now, as for human-readable content: Each RDF/XML representation links to the proper human-readable representation via rdfs:seeAlso, e.g. toSetting aside the discussion of 303, I'm not sure that rdfs:seeAlso is the best property to use here. IMHO, rdfs:seeAlso works best for the "RDF hyperlinking" that FOAF encouraged. I still tend to use it in that form. Typically when I'm pointing from RDF to a human-readable page then I usually use one of the foaf "topic" properties. foaf:isPrimaryTopic of would seem to fit here: http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_isPrimaryTopicOf I also think its more useful for agents that are looking for human-readable pages.
