Columbia organizational structure - model and RDF examples #8

Open simosacchi opened 8 years ago

simosacchi commented 8 years ago

@amberbilley , please go ahead and share your work on an RDF representation of the Columbia Organizational Structure. No need to upload all the data, just examples of RDF descriptions.

We can start the discussion on how to model the data on the issue here (which predicates, URI vs local ID, etc.)

Please branch out the repo and add your work in a folder when you are ready.

This work is intended to inform how to store/share this info in URI Service / id.library.

We can track here the issue that are emerging. so @cul/ac-metadata-rdf-wg please provide feedback.

amberbilley commented 8 years ago

Ok - finally have some time to work on this! Expect to see some stuff today :-)

amberbilley commented 8 years ago

@simosacchi Do you want me to fork and clone this repo, or just branch off the master?

et2231 commented 8 years ago

@amberbilley please go ahead and branch off the master as we've been doing. Thanks for checking!

amberbilley commented 8 years ago

doh. well, to be safe I cloned the repo on my local machine and branched from there to the master. I think I just successfully submitted a pull request to merge with the master. (I'm really rusty with git!)

et2231 commented 8 years ago

okay thanks! Note sure if you're aware but Simone is unavailable today. He'll be back tomorrow to follow through with merging with master...

amberbilley commented 8 years ago

Cool. Thanks for letting me know. Looking forward to everyone's feedback on this initial dataset.

I know we discussed developing a formal ontology for CUAF, but I'm really not sure if it's necessary. It might be overkill. But I'm open to it if that's what we need to do.

simosacchi commented 8 years ago

Thank you @amberbilley ! I just merged the pull request into Master. Please let us know how do you feel about the work and if there are issues you want us to consider.

amberbilley commented 8 years ago

I have a couple things that I would like feedback or thoughts on:

Do we want this dataset reconciled against ISNI?

How can we maintain the relationships between orgs (skos:broader, skos:sameAs) without their original identifiers from the finance office (if we don't want to make those public)?

We need to analyze the skos:inScheme to see if they are really accurate as perceived by the actual organizational structure. I did some spot checking, but more could be done. Do we even want/need this kind of hierarchy in the authority file?

simosacchi commented 8 years ago

@amberbilley can you provide a subset of the data as an example that we can modify and use to make decisions? I don't know, just a few RDF descriptions?

Your question:

How can we maintain the relationships between orgs (skos:broader, skos:sameAs) without their original identifiers from the finance office (if we don't want to make those public)?

made me realize that this repo is actually NOT private... @barmintor ?

amberbilley commented 8 years ago

Ok. Another question. Maybe SKOS isn't the most appropriate ontology to be using (since it's for concepts). Maybe we should be using MADS/RDF?
