Shigeaki Matsumoto commented on OSLCPROMCO-1:
---------------------------------------------

Let me give some comment based on PROMCODE seed documents and our trial.

In our trial, PROCODE resources are generated from an application form.
In fact, we used the following vocabularies based on a resource generation order.
(The order depends on the application form itself)

1. ScopeItem composedBy ScopeItem
2. Artifact measuredBy Measurement
3. Artifact producedBy ScopeItem
4. Mesures measurement Measurement
5. WorkItem produces Artifact
6. WorkItem requiredBy ScopeItem

I would like to note that just after a child resource is linked to a parent resource,
the parent resource also links to the child resource - and vice versa.

As a result, bi-directional relation is always created between two resources.
In such a case, the query still stay simple.

If bi-directional relation is requirements, query can be simple.
If not, one directional vocabulary may be selected after considering other trials.

> The current design has many pairs of mutual inverse properties. This makes writing SPARQL queries awkward since you have to include both. If you only have one way to express a fact then the queries become easier to write.
