-<p><em>Use of inverses:</em> designers differ on whether providing pairs of inverse relationships between
-concepts is good practice compared to declaring each relationship in just one direction. In this design we
-provide inverses for most relations (omitting attribute-like relations). This makes it easier to query
-the data in linked-data settings where a (non-symmetric) closed bounded description is often the
-default description of each resource. This does incur a cost in terms
- of maintenance of those relationships.
-Particular applications of the ontology may adopt a profile in which only certain directions are asserted in the
- data and leave it up to clients to apply any inverseOf reasoning they require.</p>
-
-<p><em>Naming:</em> some designers prefer to name properties by nouns which describe the object
-of the property, others prefer to treat property names as names of the link and use a pattern
-to indicate the direction of the link. Here we adopt the latter approach for those properties
-which are relational and especially when the direction is ambiguous.
-We use the URI pattern <code>org:hasFoo/org:fooOf</code> for this but simplify the labels to "foo"
-and "foo of" to improve readability in linked data viewers.</p>

+
+<p><em>Use of inverses:</em> designers differ on whether providing pairs of inverse relationships between
+concepts is good practice compared to declaring each relationship in just one direction. In this design we
+provide inverses for most relations (omitting attribute-like relations). This makes it easier to query
+the data in linked data settings where a (non-symmetric) closed bounded description is often the
+default description of each resource. This does incur a cost in terms
+ of maintenance of those relationships.
+Particular applications of the ontology may adopt a profile in which only certain directions are asserted in the
+ data and leave it up to clients to apply any inverseOf reasoning they require.</p>
+
+<p><em>Naming:</em> some designers prefer to name properties by nouns which describe the object
+of the property, others prefer to treat property names as names of the link and use a pattern
+to indicate the direction of the link. Here we adopt the latter approach for those properties
+which are relational and especially when the direction is ambiguous.
+We use the URI pattern <code>org:hasFoo/org:fooOf</code> for this but simplify the labels to "foo"
+and "foo of" to improve readability in linked data viewers.</p>
