:foo rdf:type SomeKindOfOrganisation . vs. :foo org:organisationType SomeKindOfOrganisation . I don't really see the need for an extra predicate with almost identical semantics to rdf:type. There is nothing stopping a subject from having more than one type. Having a special predicate doesn't really help with modification, you could easily do the same thing with rdf:type and still run up against the problem that there is no good way of specifying *when* a particular statement is true (OPMV notwithstanding) Cheers, -w -- William Waites <william.wai...@okfn.org> Mob: +44 789 798 9965 Open Knowledge Foundation Fax: +44 131 464 4948 Edinburgh, UK
