Hi Irene

Ok , but would there be any extra benefit (beyond just rdf:property) when not 
OWL-inferencing?

Ie why would I introduce only those from owl when cwa/shacl modelling?

(just playing devils advocate)

Thx michel

I do not see much harm in having owl:DatatypeProperty and owl:ObjectProperty. 
Most modeling languages differentiate between attributes and relationships.

Of course, with SHACL this is not really needed, but may be useful as an 
annotation.

Hi David,

Some background (vcon/interlink – like).

We have a use case where data is exchanged between a client (infra asset 
manager) and a contractor say about a road section or bridge.
They have to use the same ontology in the middle but both parties might have 
more detailed restrictions to which they want to validate. So we have both data 
sharing and data validation.
(note there will be a n x m relationship between client & contractors).

We have to convince them linked data is feasible (beyond relational) so we have 
to keep things as simple as possible at least as CWA as possible. They are 
scary about OWA…

With the below I was investigating how simple I can go. Seems like in the 
middle (sharing):

RDFS
- rdfs:Class
- rdfs:Datatype
- rdfs:subClassOf
- rdfs:label / rdfs:comment
RDF
- rdf:Property
- rdf:Datatype
- rdf:type
XSD
- xsd:string
- xsd:float
- xsd:integer
- xsd:boolean


And on the sides (validation): full shacl.

In the middle we then define/agree things like Bridge, TrafficBarrier etc as 
rdfs classes and designLifeExpectancy as rdf properties (ie no complex 
‘objectfications). We only add in facilities for:
- decomposition (hasDirectpartOf), that can be constrained (CWA) on class 
level, and
- quantities & unit (CDT units) where quantities (better: quantityKinds) are 
modelled as datatypes and the units in WKT like “230 mm”

That’s seems a nice compromise between power and simplicty in this 
case….(especially the transformations that is format translators and semantics 
convertors to and from their native applications (typically relational) stay 
simple enough too… (round trip data client <> contractor involving 
syntax/semantics via some middle takes 8 transformations now…so in parallel we 
will promote sharing iso conversion…..).

Hi Michel

I would say you’ve not given enough background for a clear answer.

Background items like these could change the answer :

Are you sharing with others?  If so, what tools do they have?

Are you implementing an app? If not what or who is the customer?

Are you defining  something to be taken and extended by others?
Where is source of any data?  Does it have a data model? Is it a fixed or 
growing set of data, or does it not exist yet?
For example, if your data is fully specified wrt data type and type and is 
complete and a good existing app generates it and you are just harvesting it 
for linking, for example, then  OWA concerns are less important.

Just a few thoughts to consider.

Cheers,
David

So, to be sure (100-harmless), I could use even a subset of RDFS (“RDFS-“) 
without domain & range for sharing the vocabulary.
Domain and range can come in at SHACL.

‘RDFS-‘ would then be simply:
- rdfs:Class
- rdfs:Property
- rdfs:Datatype
- rdfs:subClassOf
- rdfs:subPropertyOf
- meta-stuff like: rdfs:label / rdfs:comment /rdfs:seeAlso / rdfs:isDefinedBy

My subjective answer:

RDFS has OWA semantics, but RDFS has so little expressivity that it’s OW-ness 
doesn’t really become a problem. So I would consider the inclusion of RDFS 
definitions “mostly harmless”. Especially rdfs:subClassOf is fine. I find 
rdfs:domain and rdfs:range more problematic, but that’s not because of OWA per 
se, but because their semantics is not what most people expect.

In case the purpose of modelling is really ‘data validation’ would it be better 
to go for SHACL-only (ie CWA-only) or still combine SHACL with RDFS?
(like in http://spinrdf.org/shacl-and-owl.html). Would there be a downside of a 
SHACL-only approach. Like always having to specify properties in the context of 
a shape?

In case of validation AND data sharing would it still work or would it be 
better to use ‘RDFS + SHACL’ where the SHACL is separately used at say 2 
validation sides (importing the RDFS) and RDFS-only for the sharing spec?
But then introducing some potential OWA/inference in the middle (that doesn’t 
HAVE to be utilized). Or is all THAT inference harmless wrt OWA/CWA discussion 
(ie inferencing rdfs superclass instantiation).

Thx for your views here, Michel
