Hi,

I want to express that a foaf:Person is associated w/ a mo:Genre.  Can a foaf:Agent be the subject of a mo:Genre ?  Can the spec be changed to accommodate this?

cheers,
Kurt J

I don't see any reason why not :-)
I just added this to the todo list.

what do you mean by 'associated'?
is it that they tend to produce music within that genre?
In that case it would make more sense to have a property of the person
pointing to the genre.

What is the meaning of the 'subject' property of a genre?

I think there was a capitalisation mistake here.

I believe Kurt's asking whether you can use the mo:genre *property* with
a foaf:Agent as the subject, eg.

:me a mo:SoloMusicArtist .

gen:Rock a mo:Genre .

:me mo:genre gen:Rock .


hth,
