This page was stimulated by a question from Griffin Weber:

I have a question about the vivo:linkURI property of a vivo:URLLink class. The vivo:linkURI property is a datatype property. However, its value is a URI, right? So, why isn't it an object property? A related question is how do you store the value of the vivo:linkURI property in a VIVO instance if that value is a URI in that same instance of VIVO? Is it a literal or an entity?

From the 2010 FOAF specification, "The page property relates a thing to a document about that thing. As such it is an inverse of the topic property, which relates a document to a thing that the document is about.  A Document class represents those things which are, broadly conceived, 'documents'. The relationship between documents and their byte-stream representation needs clarification – The Documentclass is currently used in a way that allows multiple instances at different URIs to have the 'same' contents (and hence hash)."

A bibo:Webpage is a subclass of bibo:Document, which is declared equivalent to a foaf:Document.

comment: "A web page is an online document available (at least initially) on the world wide web. A web page is written first and foremost to appear on the web, as distinct from other online resources such as books, manuscripts or audio documents which use the web primarily as a distribution mechanism alongside other more traditional methods such as print."

usage: bibo:Website ⊆ dcterms:hasPart only bibo:Webpage
