Relation type for 1-n mappings #688

Closed guitarster closed 6 months ago

guitarster commented 2 years ago

Do we need a special relation type for 1-n mappings?

Currently there is no relationship type for composite mappings in Cocoda. The thought is, if a class can be mapped to two or more classes in the target vocabulary, would it be better to have standalone mappings or one 1-n mapping with a special relationship type?

Comments welcome!

Composite mappings have normal relation types.

if a class can be mapped to two or more classes in the target vocabulary, would it be better to have standalone mappings or one 1-n mapping with a special relationship type?

if it can be mapped to both (OR), then better create two mappings. If it can be mapped to the combination of both (AND) then it must be a 1-n mapping.
