agent identifiers vs web pages #107

Closed micheldumontier closed 9 years ago

micheldumontier commented 9 years ago

Phil Archer raised the issue as to why we were using web page URIs for agents. e.g. :chembl17 dct:creator https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/ .

should perhaps be:

:chembl17 dct:creator [foaf:page https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/] .

similarly, :chembl dct:publisher [foaf:homepage http://www.ebi.ac.uk ].

This is getting into the HTTPRange-14 debate and depends upon what you interpret the URI to mean.

Here we are using the URIs to mean the organisation, not the page served by a HTTP request.

The same issue arises for all the creator/author/curator predicates which should refer to a foaf:Person not to a webpage about the person. For example, what is the type of an ORCID URI, e.g. http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5711-4872?

Just to add to Alasdair's comments: This also points to the general lack of official URIs for people and organizations. I suppose that is why Phil suggested the foaf predicates - to make clear when we don't actually have the URI for the agent or institution.

Resolution: update guidance text to correctly address this issue

Working example would need to correctly use this.

micheldumontier commented 9 years ago

EBI does not have URIs for the organization, but they do have them for the dataset and version

e.g. http://rdf.ebi.ac.uk/dataset/chembl and http://rdf.ebi.ac.uk/dataset/chembl/20.0

we should update the document accordingly.

This has been fixed in the example and the guidance notes updated
