author position in RDF?

[zednis]

@justgo129 @rewolfe

I was looking at the RDF for contributors and realized that there is no positioning information recorded in the RDF.

## Contributors:
## Person and his/her role in the creation of the entity:
<http://data.globalchange.gov/article/10.1002/2013EO200001>
   prov:qualifiedAttribution [
      a prov:Attribution;
      prov:agent <http://data.globalchange.gov/person/2793>;
      prov:hadRole <http://data.globalchange.gov/role_type/author>;
      prov:actedOnBehalfOf <http://data.globalchange.gov/organization/national-center-atmospheric-research-climate-global-dynamics-division>;
      ] .

I was wondering what your thoughts would be on including author ordering with a datatype property?

gcis:authorOrdering a owl:DatatTypeProperty ;
  rdfs:label "author ordering" ;
  rdfs:range xsd:integer ;
  rdfs:domain prov:Attribution .

example:

## Contributors:
## Person and his/her role in the creation of the entity:
<http://data.globalchange.gov/article/10.1002/2013EO200001>
   prov:qualifiedAttribution [
      a prov:Attribution;
      prov:agent <http://data.globalchange.gov/person/2793>;
      prov:hadRole <http://data.globalchange.gov/role_type/author>;
      prov:actedOnBehalfOf <http://data.globalchange.gov/organization/national-center-atmospheric-research-climate-global-dynamics-division>;
      gcis:authorOrdering "1"^^xsd:integer ;
      ] .

What do you think? This would be easy to add.

@zednis I'm intrigued by the idea but I'm not sure--with the exception of identifying a first author--that this will fill a need. I don't think delineating the 3rd author as opposed to the fourth would add much value within the RDF.

[zednis]

If someone wanted to presentation of the publication from the RDF then they would not be able to correctly order the authors. For example, Hook's faceted search.

As an example, we could not generate the same HTML that GCIS shows for a publication from the RDF we are publishing.

@zednis how long would this take? The html and turtle files are linked to here. @rewolfe I don't see any ordering of contributors within the html. Am I missing something or is that information contained elsewhere in the database?

@zednis - I like this idea. @justgo129 - We have a similar concept for ordering other resources (e.g. chapters). I think we may need to add a new field (ordinal) to the contributor table.

Sounds good. @zednis let's proceed. Since we may need to add the ordinal to the contributor table anyway, we might as well knock out this issue along with #118 simultaneously.

[zednis]

Ok. I'll do a quick first pass on Monday.

@justgo129 @rewolfe

This issue fell through the cracks. Do you think this ticket should be worked on now or put in the backlog?

[justgo129]

@zednis, backlog
