Consider complete list of property sets including object and datatype sets

[briesenberg07]

Was speaking to @kcoyle recently about object and datatype properties...

Much helpful information regarding these is available in the Guide for developers (specifically, RDA elements provides information about which kinds of properties have object and/or datatype versions available, and Relationship elements provides some further info about object props).

She remarked that she had some difficulty locating RDF definitions for object and datatype properties, and I had to look closely for a moment before realizing that the way to access these is to go to the element set page for a given domain, look at "Semantics", and from there go the the object or datatype property display for that domain.

Would it be helpful to provide somewhere a list of all property sets, including object and datatype sets?

The "Elements" menu (see below) doesn't include these options, and would be made very long and unwieldy if it did. But perhaps there is another place where such a list might be provided?

We have a free windows app called RV (Registry Viewer), available via a Creative Commons License, that might help you. It has been useful to us in developing RIMMF and troubleshooting RDA registry issues over the years (and perhaps useful to several registry workers as well). The documentation is on the sparse side and so we hesitate to promote it publicly; but since it might do just what you need, here is the link: https://rimmf.com/w/doku.php?id=rimmf6:start#rv

If you give it a try and have questions, contact Richard directly and he will answer them. Or Deborah can give you a quick Zoom demo.

Thank you @tmqdeborah ! I'll take a look at that--

Hi, @tmqdeborah - am I correct in assuming that the viewer is a Windows file?

[tmqdeborah]

Hi @kcoyle, maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, but RV is a Windows-based, downloadable App; it is, unfortunately, not web-based.

[kcoyle]

Right. I'm a Mac user so I guess it may be worth me investigating running Windows programs (again). Thanks.
