Open eroux opened 5 years ago
workCatalogInfo
is a bit ambiguous and seems to be used mostly to indicate a very short summary of the work... perhaps it should be renamed to workSummary
?workErrata
could be migrated to a new type of note, and should have a more explicit commentary, the usage is not clear (is it an errata about the scanning process? an errata indicated in the original? in a reproduction? a general comment?)workIllustrations
should probably not be migrated (values are mostly "ill." which is pretty uninformative)workLocationStatement
could disappear and we could have :bdr:foo :workLocation [ a :WorkLocation ;
rdfs:label "foo!"@en ;
...
]
instead of
bdr:foo :workLocationStatement "foo!"@en ;
workPartLabel
should be migrated to something else (or maybe not at all)workPrintery
as a string should be migrated in a kind of noteworkIsNumbered
?? (we already have a property for the number)workSourceNote
: what's that?@eroux here are some comments:
dkarChag
==> ToC
- +1, you've already fixedworkSourceNote
- occurs 162 times and is supposed to be a comment on the source of the object that was digitized, e.g., "impression from blocks of the original tibetan xylograph"@en or "reproduced from a rare manuscript from Glang-'phrang in nepal"@en. It does not appear to have been consistently or frequently used. Needs review by librarians.workIsNumbered
- not needed IF we ensure that workSeriesNumber
indicates "number not known" when the Work is known to be part of a numbered series but for some reason that number is not known; otherwise, it would seem superfluous. There are 20 occurrences of workIsNumbered
without an accompanying workSeriesNumber
.workLocationStatement
- change to rdfs:comment
in a WorkLocation
as you suggest.workErrata
- the 37 occurrences are a grab bag of different sorts of information which could be split into distinct kinds of comments or discarded. Needs review by librarians.workIllustrations
- the 1813 occurrences indicate that the Work has some sort of illustrations, sometimes indicating that color plates or portraits and such are presentworkPartLabel
- is the name or title of a section of a work in the outline and could be migrated as workTitle
of type WorkBibliographicalTitle
workCatalogInfo
- I'm not sure that a name change is warranted. The Manual says:
Phrase that contains pertinent information about the type of work, its contents, and authorship with dates if available in parenthesis (ex: 1904-1969)
many of the 14,374 occurrences are not simple summaries. Perhaps we want to allow for separate commentarial forms
eventText
- the 937 occurrences could be replaced with rdfs:comment
or a subproperty of rdfs:comment
I'm thinking that using subproperties of rdfs:comment
may be helpful even when the comment is contextualized by being a property of a named blank node, such as a :WorkLocation
. It reduces ambiguity.
Ok yes I agree with the subprops of rdfs:comment, the dkarchak -> toc has been changed in the ontology but not in xmltold.
The workpartlabel should be migrated to a proper label+title yes, but would that require a new node for the section? In other words, is that the title of a work or of its section?
Let's proceed as you suggest, thanks
bdo:eventText
could be replaced with a note or an rdfs:comment associated with the event
