Need additional properties for Person type like ORCID

[mbjones]

The GeoLink Person type allows one to associate a name with a person via a PersonalInformationItem but it missing other critical properties, including:

• [ ] hasIdentifier
  • e.g., an ORCID like http://orcid.org/0000-0003-0077-4738
  • e.g., an X.509 Distinguished Name like CN=Matt Jones A729,O=Google,C=US,DC=cilogon,DC=org
  • it would be nice to also be able to classify the namespace of identifiers that are not native URIs
• [ ] hasEmailAddress

Candidates from existing ontologies for the ORCID identifier are:

• DataCite Ontology datacite:PersonalIdentifier as RDF
  • Specification: http://www.essepuntato.it/lode/http://purl.org/spar/datacite
  • https://opencitations.wordpress.com/2012/11/08/revising-the-datacite-ontology/
  • XML to RDF conversion: https://github.com/datacite/ontology
  • example of use:

dcterms:creator [ 
   a foaf:Person ; 
    foaf:name "Jones, Matthew" ;  
    datacite:hasIdentifier [
        a datacite:PersonalIdentifier ;
        literal:hasLiteralValue "http://orcid.org/0000-0003-0077-4738" ;
        datacite:usesIdentifierScheme datacite:orcid
] ] ;

• OrcidId from DBPedia: http://dbpedia.org/ontology/orcidId
