Does the distinction between hasProperties and hasStandoffProperties make sense?

[benjamingeer]

In the JSON-LD returned by the ontology routes, some properties go in hasProperties (if they’re used on resources or values), and others go in hasStandoffProperties (if they’re used on standoff tags). But what if a property is used both on values and on standoff tags (like valueHasUri)? Where should it go? Should we even have this distinction, or could we get rid of it?

And actually, do we need hasStandoffClasses? Could we just have a boolean isStandoffTag on each standoff class?

Could we just have a boolean isStandoffTag on each standoff class?

I guess that would make sense. Actually, we also flagged value classes in a way so they can be distinguished from resource classes. So we could also flag standoff classes.

[benjamingeer]

OK, so I will make it like this:

• hasClasses
• hasProperties
• hasIndividuals

And I will add flags to distinguish resource classes from standoff classes, and resource properties from standoff properties.

Just keep in mind that the ontology service in the SALSAH GUI might have to be adapted accordingly.

Actually, sorry, what I just said makes no sense, because is valueHasUri a standoff property? It's used in standoff classes but also in values.

Do we actually need to flag standoff properties? Isn't it enough that we have the cardinalities in standoff classes, to find out which properties they need?

If they show up like other properties, the GUI will display them in the extended search form if they cannot be distinguished from other props.

If they show up like other properties, the GUI will display them in the extended search form if they cannot be distinguished from other props.

Doesn't that just mean that the GUI needs to know which properties are resource properties (which it should use in the extended search form)? Why would it need to distinguish between, say, valueHasColor (which is used in StandoffColorTag as well as in ColorValue) and dimX (which is used in StillImageFileValue but not in any standoff tag)?
