Should person.shex limit the number of WebID's to just one?

[pmcb55]

As pointed out by @matthieubosquet here, shouldn't a Person be able to maintain any number WebID's?

Currently the ShEx (in shapes/contact/person.shex) says:

vcard:Individual {
    vcard:fn xsd:string {1} ;

    # vcard:WebId is a custom term
    vcard:url vcard:WebId {1};

Ah, yes, I think that should be changed to + (meaning 1 or more).

Pinging @timbl who might want to weigh in on this

Ideally * that is 0 to many.

Not everyone is going to have a WebID from the get go and it would be a shame to be able to import close to 0 of your contacts because of that. I'm not sure what the point of this restriction is?

You're correct, for an address book in general it doesn't make sense to limit it to one WebId or more. This was written in the context of PodBrowser, so it has been influenced because of that. In general I think it makes sense to have * yes, 0 to many.

I'm perfectly fine with changing it to *.
