Using own vocabulary with labels #106

Open mbuechner opened 5 years ago

mbuechner commented 5 years ago

Description

Using a controlled vocabulary for labels is essential for our portal. For the maintenance of vocabulary/labels, we’re using a dedicated management tool. Any changes made in the vocabulary will automatically update the labels in use. We think this would also be of use to other stakeholders.

Implementing IIIF would mean that all metadata has to be re-processed if labels are changed. (Another solution is creating the IIIF manifest on-the-fly. However, we do not prefer this solution at the moment.)

Variation(s)

A similar case are the values of labels.

Proposed Solutions

{
  "metadata": [{
      "label": {
        "@id": "http://ddb.vocnet.org/label/lab00037",
        "en": ["Notes"],
        "de": ["Anmerkungen"]
      },
      "value": {
        "@none": ["Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"]
      }
    }]
}
