[oslc-core] oslc:valueShape, oslc:valueType, oslc:representation and query

[Arthur Ryman]

Dave/Dragos,

oslc:representation describes how the value of a resource-valued property 
appears in the RDF representation of the resource - this could be as a 
reference (i.,e. a URI) or as an inlined set of triples, in which case you 
could query its properties too.

Regards,

The presence of a valueShape alone indicates that the properties of
the resource are guaranteed to be available via query.

I don't believe those values should effect how you write queries or
how queries are processed by the server.
