Some specific questions: --- Range/Domain --- * bf:dissertationInstitution has a range of bf:Agent, not bf:Institution. Are there really people that give out dissertations (and how much do they cost? :D) * bf:edition (and bf:editionResponsibility, which looks like a Note) has a domain of Instance, as expected from the Provider discussion that different editions (and hence dates) must be different Instances. However, bf:otherEdition has domain and range of bf:Work. This seems like a mistake? * Relatedly, bf:musicVersion has a range of Literal and no domain. This seems like it should be Work or Instance? * And similarly, bf:treatySignator has a range of Literal and no domain. Seems like it should be a range of bf:Person? --- No Semantics --- * bf:agent doesn't seem to say anything beyond "Here is an agent somehow related to this resource", and has no domain. Also, afaict, it has no sub-properties. Can anyone shed some light on what the meaning of the relationship is, and thus when a producer would create it and what a consumer would do with it? * bf:event is the same as bf:agent. * bf:place used to exist, but no longer ... should agent and event also be deleted? (temporal and topic never existed) * bf:relatedInstance seems to only have the semantics of relatedTo, but with specific range and domain. Why would a consumer/producer use this instead of relatedTo? * Ditto bf:relatedWork * bf:legalDate seems to have the description of Date of a work that's legal in nature, or the date a treaty was signed, or the date a law went into effect. This seems so indistinct to the point of being worthless? --- Inconsistency --- * bf:originPlace, bf:originDate ... but bf:Provider, and the previous discussion about providerName and providerDate. So when its an Instance, the event gets its own resource, but when its a Work, it doesn't? Thanks!
