Properties in BPR representations

Should properties used in BPR representations be BPRs?

CLOSED

Description:

"4.1.8 Predicate URIs used in BPR representations should be HTTP URLs. These predicate URIs must identify BPRs whose representations are retrievable. BPR servers should provide an RDF Schema [RDF-SCHEMA] representation of these predicates."

I understand that predicate URIs SHOULD be HTTP URLs.

But saying that "These predicate URIs MUST identify BPRs whose representations are retrievable", implies that the properties MUST be BPRs and, therefore, MUST be HTTP resources and, therefore, MUST be identified by HTTP URLs.

However, before, it is written that "SHOULD be HTTP URLs".
Am I missing something here?


I also disagree with the fact that properties are BPRs.

It is a common practice to reuse properties from vocabularies that you don't own. Therefore, you don't have any control about them (for example, the rdf:type property).

I think that the restriction here could be that "These predicate URIs MAY identify BPRs whose representations are retrievable".

And, then, also change the last sentence to: "BPR servers MAY provide an RDF Schema [RDF-SCHEMA] representation of these predicates." (even if we don't mention how, should we?).
