This is correct. If one looks at the spec defining this property, it says "indicates the resource defining the subject resource. As with rdfs:seeAlso, this property can be applied to any instance of rdfs:Resource and may have as its value any rdfs:Resource."
However, it is also true that by convention this property is used to identify a graph that defines a given resource. I also have not seen it used in any other way. One could say that the de facto practice gave this property a more limited/targeted semantic than stated in the spec. It then becomes a matter of judgement whether to use it in a way that is different from this convention. > On Nov 29, 2019, at 8:38 AM, dprice <[email protected]> wrote: > > Either end of isDefinedBy can be whatever you want.
