COMMONS13 — Unnecessary description properties in Designators

  • Key: COMMONS13-32
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    hasDescription, describes, and isDescribedBy:

    • are very vaguely defined
    • have unclear usage
    • are little to do with the declared scope of Designators (about naming)
    • duplicate the more broadly used dct:description
    • are only used in two other places (cls:classifies is subPropertyOf describes - which is not semantically valid since a classifier does not "describes the nature of" the thing it classifies) and (qtu;describesActualExpression subPropertyOf hasDescription - would be better as subPropertyOf cmns-doc;specifies)
