We need a way to encode to which object within MOD a MOD properties applies to #97

Open jonquet opened 5 months ago

jonquet commented 5 months ago

We need to find a way to encode in RDF the information that a given property "applies" to a certain object in MOD. But we do not want to use domain/range (rdfs:domain) to do this as we do not want to override the original domains defined (or left loose) by the original vocabulary provider of the property.

Something like "rangeinclude" from DublinCore

For example, dct:description may aplies to everything as DCT did not fi the domain. However in DCAT2 (hence in MOD) the dct:description property is "suggested" to be used to describe the dcat:Dataset not the dcat:Distribution. But this "suggestion" (explicit in the DCAT documentation and image) is not explicit in RDF distribution of DCAT2. @agbeltran @biswanathdutta @antony-wilson any idea how to represent this?

Can we achieve this by adding a note to the property whose usage we want to specify?

Discussed in FAIR-IMPACT T4.2 meeting today.

Use a SHACL shape? (Daniel?)
Use http://purl.org/dc/dcam/domainIncludes (@jonquet )
@biswanathdutta prefer the approach of another property, whatever it is
@antony-wilson rather than defining this at the level of the propery hy not define this at hte level of the class with a "hasProperty" property that says that a class can be described with a certain metadata property.

antony-wilson commented 5 months ago

how about something like

mod:hasProperty a owl:ObjectProperty;
    dcterms:description "A relationship between an MOD class and a property"@en ;
    rdfs:label "has property"@en ;
    rdfs:range rdf:Property ;

not sure how you would represent multiple properties of a class

I would star by encoding this with dc:domainincludes then will investigate the "reverse" aspect with the hasProperty option.

jonquet commented 4 months ago

For the moment, I suggest we proceed with dcterms:domainIncludes. I have done it within MOD3.2 for all existing properties. See https://github.com/FAIR-IMPACT/MOD/commit/722be9839fe51fb4c782fca9ce8b3605e5f5a711
