ISSUE-144: how is "reserved attribute 'type'" related to rdf:type?

how is "reserved attribute 'type'" related to rdf:type?

State:
CLOSED
Product:
prov-dm
Raised by:
Timothy Lebo
Opened on:
2011-11-06
Description:
The reserved attribute "type" is used a few places, but with no mention to its relation to rdf:type. This becomes particularly concerning when "subtyping" is mentioned. Should we avoid reinventing the wheel? Can we say somewhere that "type" SHOULD BE considered as rdf:type, and RDFS should be used to handle subtyping semantics and inference?



6. PROV-DM Extensibility Points

"Subtyping is allowed by means of the reserved attribute type."
