Issue 11320: Thing in the Profile (odm-rtf)
Source: NIST (Dr. Conrad Bock, conrad.bock(at)nist.gov)
Nature: Revision
Severity: Significant
Summary: Thing in the Profile. The UML Profile (Chapter 16) should use Annex A Thing instead of an anonymous class to model owl:Thing. Search on "Thing" (case sensitive) in the profile.

Resolution: Close, no change.  The issue / section in question is in reference to the RDF profile, not the OWL profile, but Thing is only defined for use in OWL. There is no equivalent “class of everything” in the RDF language – rdfs:Resource is the closest, but its semantics are closer to those of an individual than a class.
