changing workRef pattern #86

Closed eroux closed 5 years ago

eroux commented 5 years ago

Discussing possible adjustments in the ontology for CBC@, I think it would be easier to change the bdo:workRefXXX pattern a little. Instead of having:

bdr:W123 bdo:workRefTaisho "T0125" .

we could have instead:

bdr:W123 bdo:workRef [
      bdo:refType bdr:RefTaisho
      rdf:value "T0125"
   ] .

we would define some reference systems in the ontology, but any other project could also define theirs, so that we don't have to add new properties all the time. There are a lot of catalogs with identifiers out there (all the Dunhuang catalogs, many canonical catalogs in other languages, etc.), and adding them all would probably clutter the core ontology and make it less future-proof.

Great change! So bdr:RefTaisho would be an instance of class, bdo:WorkRef.

that sounds about right

per skype chat we'll let this bake for now
