Hi all,

[Reminder from #foaf]

The doap:os rdfs:comment states:

"Operating system that a project is limited to. Omit this property if
the project is not OS-specific"

Omitting a property to mean negation (i.e. not OS specific) is a mistake
given the open world of RDF [*]. I'd suggest changing the rdfs:comment
to say "State 'cross platform' if the project is not OS specific" (or
something like that). Perhaps this property would be better as
specifying a platform more generally, like java (JVM)?

Damian

[*] To reiterate the issue: if my document has no doap:os for project
'Foo' is Foo cross platform, or is the information simply incomplete
(perhaps lurking at the end of an rdfs:seeAlso)?
