General "Rules of Thumb" Advice


  • (Stated)[ABSTRACT GRAMMAR CLASSES] Establish as grammatical abstract classes: Noun,Verb, Adjective, Adverb, Adjective, Participle, Plural and Preposition.
  • (Stated)[ABSTRACT TOPIC CLASSES] Establish as topical abstract classes: Story,What, When, Where, Who, Which, Why, How and How much.
  • (Debated)[ATTRIBUTE NAMESPACE] Rename the SMW Property namespace to Attribute in order to preserve "property" as a prime legal/economic term for a "type of topic".
  • (Discussing)[TEXT PROPERTIES] Identify the names of all text properties by (1) a "period" followed by (2) a lower case letter. The property name may have a suffix to indicate language or facets of the property's value.
  • (Agreed)[PROPERTY FACETS] Identify the names of facets by (1) a hash character followed by (2) a lower case letter. Include facets for language, numeric precision, variance and statistical measures.
  • (Tabled)[OBJECT PROPERTIES] Identify the names of all object properties by a Capital Letter and do not follow any camel-casing convention.
  • (Voting)[NUMERIC PROPERTIES] Support RDF-style numeric property names, e.g., "1" and "2", when used as suffixes to either a text or an object property name.
  • (Withdrawn)[PROPERTY NAMES] Disallow from property names all special characters other than en-dash and hash characters.
  • (Discussing)[ISO PROPERTIES] Support all International Standards Organization (ISO) codes for currencies & languages as property names for monetary and text/string data.
  • (Presumed)[SI PROPERTIES] Support all Systeme Internationale (SI) abbreviations for types of numeric quantities as property names.
  • (Finalized)[WIKI NAMESPACES] Require a wiki page's namespaces to be the primary mechanism for communicating the type of topic that the page represents. Allow any namespace to contain any of three primary SKOS metatypes: (a) concept (b) collection (c) schema/bundle.
  • (Constructing)[WIKI PAGENAMES] Assume that the name of a page in a wiki is the topic of the page, and a topic of the wiki.
  • (Re-stated)[WIKI REDIRECTS] Consider REDIRECTs to be alternate names, or aliases, in the Topic Map sense.
  • (Questioned)[DUBLIN CORE] Adopt & tightly integrate all Dublin Core properties for general provenance purposes.
  • (Re-questioned)[XML SCHEMA] Support all XML Schema datatypes as property names for low-level data transmissions or queries.
  • (Re-proposed)[RDF] Support all RDF properties and classes for RDF-level data transmissions and RDF-level queries.
  • (Re-agreed)[RDF SCHEMA] Support all RDF Schema properties and classes for data exchanges and queries.
