Modelling strategy; Property vs. Class[edit]
In my opinion, membership of a parliament is a relationship between a parliament and the entities, which are related to this parliament in the role to be a member.
Further, imho, modelling shall be existentialistic (this is a strategy).
I.e. if you look at an entity: can you decide, by its very properties, that it is constructed in a way, that makes it visible, that it is part of a parliament?
I would guess, there is no such thing, which, by itself, is a member of a parliament.
I would conclude, that
- a parliament is an entity
- what you call member is an abstraction of an entity "human being", which "has" exactly those properties, which are minimally needed to be allowed as member of a parliament
- member_of_parliament is a property between a parliament entity and this abstraction-of-human-being entity. This property will probably be a subProperty of more abstract membership properties, which are probably all subproperties of "element of set" (in the mathematical sense).
If there should be agreement on the existentialistic strategy, it would be great, if somebody could change the modelling of this membership.
Consider, that it is (at least in instatiations of the RDF meta model) not forbidden to have properties assigned to properties.
