For whom is this information? For me? If it's so, then I'll need a little bit of context to understand what you mean 🙂

Hi @Silvanoc - I took a look at the generator when you posted your issue, and I wanted to make sure I captured the code that I thought might be responsible so that when we come to look at this ticket again we don't have to start over. :) From the code I posted, it looks like we intentionally suppress abstract and mixin classes from being serialized to JSON. Your use case of abstract class as a range constraint is a good one; we should consider adding a bit of code here to serialize abstract/mixin classes when they are used as domain/range constraints (there may be other instances where we need them as well).

For me it was natural to do...

How do I specify that all unknown variations of a class (which will never be instantiated itself) are accepted as range on an attribute? I might be doing it completely wrong. Os simply too biased due to my programer background.
