 description_property(?Property)

True when Property is used for descritive nodes on a resource. This predicate is multifile.

   60description_property(dc:description).
   61description_property(skos:scopeNote).
   62description_property(rdfs:comment).

 rdf_description(+R, -Description:literal) is nondet

Description is a description for R. This predicate first calls the hook description_hook/2. If this hook fails it produces all property-values for the properties defined by description_property/1 that have a literal value.

   72rdf_description(R, Description) :-
   73    (   description_hook(R, Description)
   74    *-> true
   75    ;   description_property(P),
