How to handle deprecation between major versions?

[kvistgaard]

It seems that :isWithinFrameworkAgreement is deprecated in the current version of ePO, but instead of declared as such, it is simply removed which has a negative impact on backward compatibility and traceability.

Hello,

The Ontology is being versioned according to Semantic Versioning rules, with major, minor and patch versions.

Many properties were added and removed from versions 3 to 4, which can be seen in the release notes but currently, there is no explicit declaration in the ontology.

This is a discussion to have, and given the size and the rate of change of the Ontology, versioning through namespace could be evaluated as well.

I'm moving this into 'discussions'

Besides the deprecation issue, the reason for deleting :isWithinFrameworkAgreement was that the predicate epo:followsRulesSetBy exists.
