Drive-by critique of SIOC
Hi folks,
Just a couple of notes from my attempt at modelling a blog with SIOC:
The distinction between Site and Forum is awkward, I don't want to
introduce a top-level pseudo-forum for the weblog. I'm not convinced
that Site and the host properties provide any value.
sioc:container_of is awkward, sioc:post would be nicer.
I don't like all the duplication of DC and FOAF terms. Not invented
here syndrome? You've even reinvented rdf:type.
The spec talks in length about a Types module, but I can't find a
link to it. http://rdfs.org/sioc/types/ is mentioned in the comment
for sioc:type but is 404.
Overall impression:
1. SIOC is great for modelling BBs.
2. SIOC is not very suited for modelling other types of fora.
3. SIOC is very well-managed and documented. Applause for that!
4. SIOC is not a good RDF citizen.
In summary, I'd use it again when I have to model a BB but not
otherwise. Just my €0.02.
Cheers,
Richard
