Proposed actions for updated CG Core information product types

[alanorth]

After a review of the usage of output types in several CGIAR open access repositories¹ we have come up with a list of proposed actions for CG Core:

• Add Abstract
• Add Blog
• Add Blog Post
• Add Brief
  • Add alternative label Factsheet
• Add Case Study
  • Add synonym Outcome Case Study
• Remove Data file
• Remove Database
• Add Data Paper
• Rename Dataset As A Collection Of Data to Dataset
• Remove directive document
• Remove Financial Report
• Remove Geospatial raster file
• Remove Geospatial vector file
• Add Guidelines as an alternative label for Manual
• Rename Journal (full) to Journal Issue
• Remove Legal Document
• Add Magazine
• Remove Magazine Article
• Add User Manual as a synonym for Manual
• Remove Newspaper
• Remove Personal Communication
• Remove Post
• Rename Research Report to Report
• Remove Standard
• Add Template
• Remove Technical Report
• Add Questionnaire
• Add Tool 2023-07-07: actually, we don't want to add this
• Add Training Material
• Remove Video Recording

To decide with @marieALaporte how to proceed. A few next steps:

• Update the RDF schema
• Update the schema guidelines
• Update the controlled vocabulary

currently, the list of product types is not part of the RDF. Should we add the list to the cgcore RDF file or have it published as its own thing?

@marieALaporte oh! I didn't realize that. So we just publish the product types as a separate controlled vocabulary. Something like a plaintext CSV with types and definitions that can be machine read, then we produce some HTML or whatever other things from that.
