Missing Terms related to Marital Status

[alliyya]

I don't know how these terms got missed!

They've been extracted before oddly enough just never made it into the Ontology therefore never in the Vocabulary.

Task:

• [ ] Add below terms to CWRC Ontology
• [ ] Add Instances to LINCS Vocabulary, I think these would be under the Personal Relations Vocabulary or maybe the Event Vocab?

Terms

I don't think these fit in any subproperty hierarchy but if you find a suitable parent property/class add that relationship.

Predicate: cwrc:hasMaritalStatusChange Context Predicate: cwrc:maritalStatusChange

Class: cwrc:MaritalStatusChange

Instances:

• cwrc:marriage : Indicates a person's transition into a married relationship, whether legal or common-law, heterosexual or same-sex.
• cwrc:divorce : Indicates a person's transition, or in rare cases desired transition, from being married to being divorced.
• cwrc:separation : Indicates a person's transition out of a marriage or relationship through separation, whether temporary or permanent.

The definitions were pulled from the biography spreadsheet, the property URIs are slightly different as these are what was extracted, so I assume that's more up to date than the sheet.

@SusanBrown Could you re-review these terms and definitions and then we can have @jingyilong update the Ontology/Vocabulary, Thanks!

Any update on the above? Thanks!

Realized we have marriage defined in the Vocabularies https://vocab.lincsproject.ca/Skosmos/persrel/en/page/marriage

But we do not have separation or divorce defined.

I will be using placeholder terms in the meantime. Uncertain if I'll make it up or use an external identifier.

How about these?

Divorce: A relationship resulting from the legal dissolution of a marriage through civil or religious processes.

Separation: A informal or legal relationship in which a married couple who are not divorced cease to function as married.

In the vocabulary, both should remain categorized as interpersonal relationships, I think, but not as intimate ones although in some cases a relationship will be both.
