Question is for the Presentation: Community-basedMapping Shangguan 0911
Question is asked by: Gregory Todd Williams
The Question is: Section 2.1 indicates that user comments and discussions can be attached to mappings since the mappings are first class objects. This modeling seems restrictive, though, in cases where a researcher might want to discuss a mapping without asserting it. Would adding another form of comments that could reference a possible mapping be preferable to the situation where a mapping must be asserted in order to be discussed?
