Hi all -

Based on the efforts at the Drupal RDF(a) code sprint here in DERI, I am asking for feedback on a few new properties that are similar to some existing ones like num_replies.

I'd value your opinions.  Many of these can be of course derived from other data but they would provide nice summaries that could be used e.g. in a search such as http://www.google.com/search?q=best+irish+pubs+boards

num_threads
The number of Threads (AKA discussion topics) in a Forum.
Domain: sioc:Forum; Range: xsd:integer

num_posts (or else num_items)
The number of Posts (or Items) in a Forum (or a Container).
Domain: sioc:Forum (or else sioc:Container); Range: xsd:integer

last_post_date (or else last_item_date)
The date and time of the last Post (or Item) in a Forum (or a Container).
Domain: sioc:Forum (or else sioc:Container); Range: xsd:dateTime
subPropertyOf: dcterms:date

num_authors
The number of unique authors (Users and unregistered posters) who have contributed to this Item, Thread, Post, etc.
Domain: owl:Thing; Range: xsd:Integer

num_replies (*already exists*)

last_reply_date
The date and time of the last reply Post or Comment.  This could be associated with a starter Item or Post, or with a Thread.
Domain: owl:Thing; Range: xsd:dateTime
subPropertyOf: dcterms:date

Thanks,

John.

Those make sense to me. How about range: xsd:nonNegativeInteger?

Maybe subPropertyOf dcterms:modified? Although that's a bit wonky, I
admit. :-)

Also range: xsd:nonNegativeInteger.

Should that be a subPropertyOf num_posts/num_items?

And should that be a subPropertyOf last_post_date/last_item_date?

Yep, to annotate column data from a page such as
http://sioc-project.org/forum or http://sioc-project.org/forum/10 with
RDFa.

Yes, and could change num_replies range too.

admit. :-)

Yes, it is a similar idea (the Forum was last modified through the
creation of new content within it).

Regarding these two, I don't know - the domain for the sub-types are
different (either greater than or of a different type) than the
super-types so I'm not sure it'd work...  E.g. num_replies applies to
maybe a post or a thread whereas super-type num_posts is for a more
restricted forum/container, and last_reply_date could be for a post,
thread or even a forum whereas super-type last_post_date is for a more
restricted forum/container.

Dear all -

It's taken some months but I've committed these additional properties.

Change log: Added num_authors, num_items, num_threads, last_item_date,
last_reply_date. Changed XMLSchema#integer to
XMLSchema#nonNegativeInteger.

If there are any errors, please let me know.

Thanks,

John.
