Issue 178 OWL punning issues

w3c/hcls-fhir-rdf#178 last comment

ericp: I will defer to Tim

AGREED: go ahead with Tim's proposal

ericp: For Base types, I suggest we defer to Tim, because it only affects the ont
… Also for Meta datatypes
… Any polymorphic properties that has that type as an option, then it would show up in instance data, and should use fhirdt: prefix

AGREED: Go ahead with fhirdt: for all 5 categories of datatypes

Issue 185 Misc rdf.html corrections and editorial updates

w3c/hcls-fhir-rdf#185

dbooth: fhir:v is not the only property that takes a literal. Also fhir:div

ericp: We should change the type of fhir:div from xsd:string to rdf:XLLiteral

ACTION: Ericp to create an issue for that proposed change

AGREED: change the type of fhir:div from xsd:string to rdf:XMLiteral

w3c/hcls-fhir-rdf#187

Issue 183

AGREED: fhir:subjectReference --> fhir:subject

AGREED: remove the "a fhir:Reference" from the examples at https://github.com/w3c/hcls-fhir-rdf/issues/183#issue-3500766749 because fhir:subject is always a fhir:Reference

Meeting with ITS group

… I will make Jira tickets and probably a few slides

Issue 182

w3c/hcls-fhir-rdf#182
