One organization may be a member of another without being a sub organization, i.e. they are independent entities. These properties allow such relationships to be captured. The memberOf and hasMember properties are very simple and don't support statements describing the nature of the membership. The W3C Organization Ontology provides both this simple method and a more sophisticated model21 that does make it possible to, for example, provide information about the period of time in which one organization was a member of another, the level of membership etc. That more sophisticated model should be used where necessary and may be used in addition to the simple memberOf/hasMember properties. In the RDF release of the CPOV, memberOf and hasMember are bound to org:memberOf and org:hasMember respectively.
