parentOf property: definition needs work

[uscholdm]

The current definition for gist:parentOf is:

gist:parentOf
	a owl:ObjectProperty ;
	skos:definition "Biological Parent"^^xsd:string ;
	skos:prefLabel "parent of"^^xsd:string ;
	.

The term parent is used much more broadly in a hierarchy. For example:

• directSubTaskOf is defined to be an immedate parent task
• we have a property called gist:hasNavigationalParent

SUGGESTION: rename to biologicalParentOf (or use the inverse hasBiologicalParent

Not just that, but more to the point, there are adoptive parents who have legal responsibility for the child. I don't know if step-parent would ever be important in an enterprise context without legal adoption.

Anyway, I agree with the suggestion.

Related to the discussion is gist:offspringOf which sounds like it would be the inverse of the the current gist:parentOf (and the proposed gist:biologicalParentOf). Neither existing property has owl:inverseOf declared.

Not relevant to the proposal but I am curious how often gist:parentOf got used in a non-biological hierarchies. :)

This is subsumed by #534 but I'm leaving it open so we make sure to consider the specific issues addressed here.

@rjyounes This has been addressed, suggest to close.
Here is the current implementation:

gist:hasBiologicalParent
	a owl:ObjectProperty ;
	rdfs:domain gist:LivingThing ;
	rdfs:range gist:LivingThing ;
	skos:definition "Relates a living thing to its biological parent."^^xsd:string ;
	skos:prefLabel "has biological parent"^^xsd:string ;
	.
