ISSUE-2: Schema.org properties do not de-reference
Property pages
Schema.org properties do not de-reference
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- Feedback on Schema.org
- Raised by:
- Bernard Vatant
- Opened on:
- 2011-10-11
- Description:
- http://schema.org/Person de-references, whereas properties just 404. Example: http://schema.org/affiliation ... at least by RDF tradition and the Web architecture spec, properties are first class citizens and deserve their own documentation.
Raised in http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-vocabs/2011Oct/0012.html
Excerpt:
"""URIs for schema.org properties, based on their labels, are used by both
"official" OWL version at [1] and rdfs.org version at [2].
Class URIs such as http://schema.org/Person are dereferencable even if they
do not (yet) provide a RDFdescription of what they mean ...
But property URIs such as http://schema.org/about are just 404.
Are there any plan to have at least html minimal description of properties
at those URIs, like a definition and the list of classes using them?
Bernard """

Related notes:
Note that such per-property pages would also give a mechanism for attributing original sources, in situations (eg. rNews) where Schema.org terminology is explicitly acknowledged to be based on other work.
I have passed on the suggestion to the Schema.org partners. Nobody objected and it seems sensible / useful, but perhaps it will come later after other work around the actual vocabulary. I'll mark this 'Postponed' for now.
Dan Brickley, 14 Oct 2011, 17:37:08Implemented and deployed. Pages also contain basic RDFa/RDFS term descriptions (as do per-type and per-enum pages). Breadcrumb navigation for enums also slightly improved to reduce confusion with types.
