How to cope with periods #22

Open pwoltjer opened 1 week ago

pwoltjer commented 1 week ago

Currently, none of our examples contains a sdo:dateCreated that has a period as object. Sources (sdo:archiveComponents) can have a period as creation date. It is often the case with population registrations.

In A2A, you can have this:

<a2a:SourceIndexDate>
  <a2a:From>1880-01-01</a2a:From>
  <a2a:To>1889-12-31</a2a:To>
</a2a:SourceIndexDate>

What would be the best way to deal with periods in PiCo?

I'd stay away from the source examples, because (contrary to A2A) PiCo is not about sources. But we might find a usecase in population registers, like https://github.com/CBG-Centrum-voor-familiegeschiedenis/PiCo/blob/main/examples/various-sources/bevolkingsregistratie.ttl Currently this example does not really show when the residency is applicable (1900-1924). Maybe use a startDat/endData construction?

It appears that EDTF would be a nice solution for this. Sounds like an interesting subject for the next meeting of the PiCo beheergroep.
