FIBOFTF — Logical error in definitions of BusinessFacingTypes

  • Key: FIBOFTF-7
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Adaptive ( Mr. Pete Rivett)
  • Summary:

    The definition of datatype Percentage seems logically incorrect: by using equivalentClass of decimal that also, as far as I understand it, creates the absurdity that all decimals (e.g. 567.34) are considered percentages.
    (definition elided).
    <rdfs:Datatype rdf:about="&fibo-fnd-utl-bt;percentage">
    <rdfs:label>percentage</rdfs:label>
    <owl:equivalentClass rdf:resource="&xsd;decimal"/>
    </rdfs:Datatype>
    Can we not use a restriction (RDF syntax looks ugly but came from "personAge" in OLW2 Primer):

    <rdfs:Datatype rdf:about="&fibo-fnd-utl-bt;percentage">
    <rdfs:label>percentage</rdfs:label>
    <owl:equivalentClass >
    <rdfs:Datatype>
    <owl:onDatatype rdf:resource="&xsd;decimal"/>
    <owl:withRestrictions rdf:parseType="Collection">
    <rdf:Description>
    <xsd:minInclusive rdf:datatype="&xsd;decimal">0</xsd:minInclusive>
    </rdf:Description>
    <rdf:Description>
    <xsd:maxInclusive rdf:datatype="&xsd; decimal ">100</xsd:maxInclusive>
    </rdf:Description>
    </owl:withRestrictions>
    <rdfs:Datatype>
    </owl:equivalentClass >
    </rdfs:Datatype>

    Similar errors also affect other datatypes:

    • basisPoints
    • restrictedPercentage

    Logical error in definitions of BusinessFacingTypes

    Several definitions in BusinessFacingTypes appear to be incorrectly specified, including percentage, restrictedPercentage, and basisPoints. All three are declared to be equivalent to xsd:decimal, which seems wrong from a logical perspective.
