Liddy,
I for one would find it easier to think about this if you could provide
a proposed definition of dcterms:communicability and some possible value
strings? That would make it easier to understand what is being proposed
here.
Is the definition something like
A statement about the ease with which the resource can be communicated
or transmitted
?
If so, then I have absolutely no idea what the value strings for this
property might be!
Personally, I'd reject this proposal on the grounds that
'communicability' should never have been added to the dictionary in the
first place - but that's another matter :-)
