[foaf-dev] Time to make the foaf classes relate to Dublin Core classes?

Hi Kjetil,

Well, foaf:Group can be an ad-hoc group, but I expect it be a 'real'
one, while dcterms:AgentClass is for more 'abstract' group (hence
class of agents) such as 'all female'. I wonder it would be confusing
to mix up both categories.

Reciprocal subclass is exactly same relationship as
owl:equivalentClass, so it is not desirable in this case. I think they
might have some overlap, but not subclass (entirely part of) each
other.

cheers,
