Additions to GSQ Alias #341

Closed broughd-qld closed 3 years ago

broughd-qld commented 4 years ago

For DES to use the Catalogue, we need to create a list of our organisation and org units. These critically link to publishers in the metadata schema.

@DavidCrosswellGSQ @KellyVance I'm proposing to add items and refine the GSQ Alias file to include this information and build out some of the ORG ontology items. cc @UbuntuScott

All, this might best be done by changing the vocabulary title here to simply Alias or Queensland Government Alias and then creating gsq-alias and des-alias collections to suit the specific needs of each. This would also future-proof us should any other departments wish to join the fun later on. Thoughts?

broughd-qld commented 4 years ago

Opening up the terms to future use would be good. Our initial thoughts on what our structure could look like followed much of the ORG ontology - example below. But potentially we overthought some of it though! Using ORG means we can morph items over time, using a structured language - which helps with changes to organisations and names.

Our alias vocabulary is really just for defining the source of secondary names for data objects and entries, so it might be a bit rudimentary and overly specific for your purposes.

For our full list of organisations and their relationships we have a Party Database component in our data structure https://github.com/geological-survey-of-queensland/gsq-party-profile

But for an Ontology based approach, we could take what you have above and define a new Queensland Government Organisation ontology that we could expand over time.

broughd-qld commented 3 years ago

@KellyVance based on the above, would you like me to create a new ontology based for organisations (ie agencies, org units, locations) or add them to gsq_alias? Recognising that full details for GSQ will be kept in the Party Database and DES will likely have additional details for internal use?

I'm leaning towards a fresh approach as we can design for expansion over time with other agencies.

KellyVance commented 3 years ago

@broughd-qld I tend to agree that a fresh approach is best too. It might be pushing this vocabulary beyond its true intent and essence to expand it to a full ontology. That said, this alias list, would be one element feeding into a larger structure to deal with organisation records.

broughd-qld commented 3 years ago

OK - I'll start a fresh ontology. Will be easier to merge and relate than disentangle at a later date.

broughd-qld commented 3 years ago

@KellyVance as we discussed yesterday the ontology approach and the party database are probably complementary and will serve different purposes. I'll kick off a QG agency ontology and we can expand as required, noting that full details should be in the party database or other systems as needed.
