i didn’t spend ALL night dreaming about rdf vocabularies because i spent at least some of it dreaming about a silly cdrama

in fairness it does state, more precisely, just “typically intellectual property”, but the preceding words are “information thing of value”, and, you know, intellectual property is how value is produced for information things, so

i’m sorry man but if your vocabulary depends on the concept of property, and not just property but property in its most problematic and troubled form, especially when it comes to the Web, you know, that thing you invented

that’s no good my man

me: well this vocabulary is mostly not useful in view of later work, but it has some unique terms, and there’s probably no harm in it

me, realizing that timbl defined a “Work” as “a piece of intellectual property”:
