Should I provide a value explicitly or infer it?

Show all headers | View raw

Here is a fragment of an RDF file:

int:Saxon
    :lang lang:XSLT ;
    :langMinVersion "1.0" ;
    :langMaxVersion "2.0" ;
    :scriptCommand ("saxonb-xslt"
                    [ :concat ("-xsl:" :script) ]
                    "-s:-"
                    [ :params [ :concat (:name "=" :value) ]]) ;
    :debianPackage "libsaxonb-java" ;
    :packageMinVersion "9.0" .

This file fragment "says" that to process XSLT format for version 
"1.0"-"2.0" the software should call an OS command like:

saxonb-xslt -xsl:script.xsl -s:- X=1 Y=2

I am considering to add:

    :executable "saxonb-xslt" ;

what would mean that to check if such scripts are available, my software 
should check if there is "saxonb-xslt" executable in path specified PATH 
environment variable.

But that the executable is "saxonb-xslt" can be inferred as the first 
element of :scriptCommand.

So, should I provide `:executable "saxonb-xslt" ;` value or should I instead 
infer it from :scriptCommand value?

The software is https://github.com/vporton/xml-boiler and the RDF (Turtle 
format) file is
