Deprecation predicate

[riannella]

Should we use owl:deprecated predicate (instead of ont:deprecatedBy)?
And is rdf:nil the appropriate value for a concept deprecated (but not by another concept)
Should we also remove (ontological) links to deprecated terms?

Stupid question: why?

[riannella]

If you look at the instances of Action http://w3c.github.io/poe/vocab/#term-Action
we still show deprecated terms.
Same for http://w3c.github.io/poe/vocab/#term-use
etc

We don't want people to use these terms, so best to not show them as part for non-deprecated terms?

[nevali]

That wasn't the bit I was questioning, it was the replacement of ont:deprecatedBy with owl:deprecated…

Are there instances of concepts which are deprecated but not replaced by anything?

[riannella]

First reason is that I feel that the "ont" ontology: http://www.kanzaki.com/ns/ontology-annot
Is a one person effort and would fail the W3C Normative reference guidelines:
https://www.w3.org/2013/09/normative-references

Second, is trying to reduce the number of dependent ontologies.

Yes, we do have a few terms deprecated any not replaced (lease, lend, preview, secondaryuse)

Is there any deprecating mechanism going to be used for XML/JSON?

[riannella]

For XML/JSON schemas, all we have is the "version/id" attributes.

updated to use owl:deprecated true ;
