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)
