ODM11 — rdfs:Literal

  • Summary:

    Need capability to say that the type of a property, when specified without an explicit domain or range, an alternative to an anonymous class might be rdfs:Literal
    The statement is made that the profile uses an anonymous class, analagous to owl:Thing ..., which is only appropriate if the user intends the property to be an object property in OWL. For completeness, include rdfs:Literal to support datatype properties as well.

  • Disposition: Resolved — ODM 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Revise the text under Description in section 14.1.7.1 as follows.
    In the second sentence of the second paragraph, which begins, “For RDF properties that are defined without specifying a domain or range,” change
    …”the profile uses an anonymous class (analogous to owl:Thing in OWL ontologies) for the “missing” end class.
    to
    …”the profile allows users to
    • use an anonymous UML::Class, stereotyped by «rdfsClass», that is either the RDFS library class representing rdfs:Resource (analogous to owl:Thing in OWL ontologies) or rdfs:Class, for the “missing” domain end class, and
    • either of those options or a UML::Datatype, stereotyped by «rdfsDatatype», library element representing rdfs:Literal, as appropriate, for the “missing” range end class.
