Indicators: Series Identification #16

Open lomky opened 6 years ago

lomky commented 6 years ago

Followup to question raised on #12 about Indicator series identification.

PROPOSAL: We should create a semantic relationship between the related indicators.
- NEEDED: Semantic relationship to use. @amruelama to research.
- NEEDED: Semantic relationship added. @lomky to implement.
- NEEDED: Update current Indicators
- OPTIONAL: extend this to other Reports (NCA3->NCA4? etc).

lomky commented 6 years ago

We considered using "WasDerivedFrom" at the Indicator->Indicator level, but are coming around to the idea of adding the new verb "dct:replaces" / "dct:issReplacedBy".

We would support this explicitly on USGCRP Publications (Indicators, NCA) and prominent entities in GCIS (IPCC, often cited Datasets, NCA Regions) as needed, but not proactively.

lomky commented 6 years ago

We few this as a connection at the top-level only. Indicator->Indicator, NCA3->NCA4. Not their all their sub components.

This should not be used on annual reports about events in any given year (i.e. extreme events of 2015, extreme events of 2016)

lomky commented 6 years ago

It may be worth explicitly tagging the latest version of a thing. Probably not semanticly.

Work to do:

Kat:
- [x] Add the terms dct:replaces dct:isReplacedBy
Amrutha:
- [x] Add the connections on the Indicators
- [x] Add the connections on the NCA

@amruelama dct:Replaces exists now. You can move forward connecting Indicators and NCA reports as discussed.

amruelama commented 5 years ago

@lomky In what specific cases have we planned to use dct:isReplacedBy? Right now, I see when Report B 'replaces' Report A, in both report pages, it shows 'Report B' replaces 'Report A' or 1 report replaces this report (Report A), instead of using 'dct:isReplacedBy'. Is it possible to automatically use 'dct:isReplacedBy' term in Report A instead of 'replaces'?

lomky commented 5 years ago

@amruelama nope, looks like they're not actually linked in our system setup :(

here's the existing ones break down:

 cito:cites          |   138
 cito:isCitedBy      |   161
 prov:wasDerivedFrom |  1802
 prov:wasInformedBy  |    10

So we use them pretty equally for the cites & cited by. for the others we prefer the equivalent to isReplacedBy. I think we can just pick a preferred convention?
