Another related issue is that these data types are defined as: ```json { "@id": "schema:Text", "@type": [ "schema:DataType", "rdfs:Class" ], "rdfs:comment": "Data type: Text.", "rdfs:label": "Text" } ``` Data types...

Yes! If that option is on the table, I absolutely think that physical files and directories should have uniquely defined RO-Crate types. Then validation becomes easier, finding the root data...

Here's a nice `File` class from the [REPRODUCE-ME](https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/REPRODUCE-ME) ontology: * [BioPortal Link](https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/REPRODUCE-ME?p=classes&conceptid=https%3A%2F%2Fw3id.org%2Freproduceme%23File) * IRI: `https://w3id.org/reproduceme#File` * Definition: "A storage to store data. For example, a computer file." I think the...

I think you are arguing something beyond the scope of this issue. RO-Crate already explicitly models file hierarchies, and so I propose that it does so even more explicitly.

Interestingly, it seems that the [Croissant spec](https://docs.mlcommons.org/croissant/docs/croissant-spec.html#resources) defines `FileObject` and `FileSet`, which explicitly extend schema.org. This could be an easier avenue than defining our own `File` or `Directory`.

Does that matter? Many of the terms that RO Crate uses in its context are not schema.org or don't resolve. The nice part is that Croissant fits into the same...

Could this type of app come with a Rails view and controller definition? This would allow the right level of flexibility. Really the plugin mechanism is just needed to handle...

I had another idea which might be more palatable. Rather than create a new type of plugin, we could instead just let passenger apps expose an entry in their manifest...

Thanks for looking into this! Were any of my incidental questions answered, such as: * Should Flurophore be a chemical entity, or a role? * Which predicate should link an...

I just realised there is a [molecular label role](http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0002743), which I think is close enough to Flurophore that I'm happy to cut it from the proposal.
