Re: [oslc-core] Use of oslc:Property to define usage of rdf:type?

[Martin P Pain <martinpain@uk.ibm.com>]

If it's zero-or-many or one-or-many how
often would you need to constrain all values? 
the *-or-many occurs values are the
main point of extensibility - if the client doesn't understand all values
(because others are extensions), it can doits best with the ones that it
does understand.
I expect there are times when you would
need to - for example a server advertising its own resource shapes that
can't handle unrecognised values (i.e. doesn't store everything it receives
in a triple store), but for use in the specs I expect leaving it open would
be the default.

Just my thoughts...

I've not noticed it being used with
this interpretation.  So how would one define a Property which covered
all occurrences of a multi-valued property?
