On the call the following issues where brought up:

• The word 'administrates' is not quite correct. It should be 'administers'. E.g. see: https://www.beedictionary.com/common-errors/
• Administers is has very broad usage (e.g., administers medication). Is there a modifier you can use use in the label to make it more restrictive. Or perhaps use: manage, oversee, supervise etc.

Any updates on this?

Per 6-22 OBIB call, 'Administers' sounds fine.
@CDowland Will take a look at the suggestion about the label.

My apologies for not posting any updates prior to this month's RO meeting. We will follow up before the next one.

Below are the revised NTRs, followed by an overview of the changes:

NTR 1

Preferred term label
appointed administrator of

Textual definition
a is an appointed administrator of b if c owns b and some rights and obligations regarding b, and that are grounded in the ownership of b, are transferred from c to a.

Term Editor
Mathias Brochhausen, Clint Dowland

NTR 2

Preferred term label
has appointed administrator

Textual definition
Inverse of ‘appointed administrator of’.

Term Editor

Changes:

• Dropped the rdfs:comment because it refers to an obsolete term.
• Replaced the label "administrates" with "appointed administrator of", and replaced "administrated by" with "has appointed administrator." The use of "appointed" here is to better reflect that the administrator, as the definition entails, is someone other than the owner. Granted, there may exist positions to which one can appoint oneself, and so "appointed" on its own does not entail the appointing person and the appointed person are distinct. But in this case the owner would already have the rights/obligations in virtue of being the owner, while the appointed administrator has those transferred to them in virtue of being appointed to the position.
• Revised the phrasing of the first definition to be clearer.
