... no dcmi software class as such
... dcmi does have a software type
johannes: can we use foaf:agent to describe
software?
... replace earl:software with foaf:agent
shadi: foaf agent not stable yet
jim: think foaf people would be happy if earl:software subclasses foaf:agent
shadi: dope not appropriate
... has talked to Dan and Libby about foaf versioning in case foaf changes
and evolves. that way it wont break earl
<JohannesK> The RDF schema in <http://usefulinc.com/ns/doap#> does not contain a Software class

shadi: we need a property to describe a URI
... dublin core defines URI but it looks like we cant use it
<shadi> <dcterms:IdentifierScheme rdf:about="http://purl.org/dc/terms/URI">
shadi: do we define 2 uri properties 1 generic and 1 http specific
<JohannesK> or have only one, either defined in EARL or in HTTP-in-RDF
<JohannesK> or in another namespace
<shadi> resolution: one property to define URI (as RDF) within its won namespace, and described in the HTTP-in-RDF WG Note
<shadi> resolution: define one property for URI as RDF within its own namespace, and described in the HTTP-in-RDF WG Note
shadi: wcl have taken up uri pattern matching
we have been waiting for their results
... they have just released first notes and we need to look over it and how
it fits in with us
