COMMONS — There needs to be an additional usage note on Text in the TextDatatype ontology with a stronger warning

  • Key: COMMONS-18
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mrs. Elisa F. Kendall)
  • Summary:

    This datatype is quite useful but most free and some commercial OWL tools don't support (1) custom datatypes in OWL, and (2) rdf:langString. We need to provide a stronger warning to users who might want to extend Text with the inherent risk in doing so depending on their application and tool infrastructure.

  • Disposition: Resolved — COMMONS 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Add a note to Text that warns people not to use it under certain circumstances

    The current scope note doesn't go far enough to warn potential users of some of the issues with this datatype. A stronger usage note should be added in addition to the current scope note.
