Previous versions of the searchmonkey-profile vocabulary included the rel vocabulary which was introduced partly to provide implicit type information, partly to relate resources to each other. This mixed usage of the rel vocabulary was found to be confusing for many developers. For this reason, the use of the rel vocabulary is now replaced with explicit typing provided using the optional typeof attribute of item elements. The table below shows the mapping between the deprecated rel vocabulary and current types and properties. Elements in the rel vocabulary not listed here have been removed from the vocabulary. (Please see Defining new classes and properties on how you can define, declare and use your own vocabularies.) The table below provides the mapping between elements of the rel vocabulary and classes in the current vocabulary:
