Talk to Anne Thiessen about patterns already adopted

The collection.britishmuseum.org site is not currently working. Some examples of their provenance data can be accessed via the Internet Archive, as well as link addresses for pages that made RDF dumps of their entire collection available. Dominic Oldman is the manager of the semantic web service.

The British Museum uses the CIDOC-CRM ontology for all object descriptions. Provenance events are encoded using classes like "E10: Transfer of custody," a class of perdurants that can be understood as subclasses of event (or PROV Activity).

Provenance data for physical collection objects has been encoded, but until the collection is back online, I can't examine the graphs to see what if any provenance of the descriptions themselves are captured.

Next step will be to contact D. Oldman to inquire about plans for bringing the descriptions back online. I can invite him to write the implementor description himself or to share a working link to one of the dumps and then review what I can draft.

British Museum's SPARQL endpoint is back online. Will draft implementor description, but plan to invite Oldman to review it and comment before adding it to the database.
