For Collections: Use dcterms:title as fallback if no skos:prefLabel is defined. #719

Open Kordishal opened 6 years ago

Kordishal commented 6 years ago

There are quite a few vocabularies which have only titles for their collections and no skos:prefLabels. There is no requirement in the standard to have a skos:prefLabel.

Would it be possible for Skosmos to use this fallback?

The SKOS primer examples for collections use skos:prefLabel properties. You're right that this is not a requirement, but it's about the only guidance there is. You could conceivably use rdfs:label, dc:title, dcterms:title, schema:name...

Would it be possible to preprocess the data, e.g. using Skosify?

We already have multiple level fallbacks for choosing a label in a suitable language. Supporting more properties would just add even more complexity and I'm a bit hesitant to do that...
