Evaluation of existing ontologies – rules for cases where multiple candidate ontologies exist #6

Closed jechterhoff closed 8 years ago

jechterhoff commented 8 years ago

Description

In #5 we are looking for criteria / methods / rules to decide if an existing ontology is appropriate for use in INSPIRE RDF schemas.

Discussion Item

It might happen that more than one vocabulary is suitable to represent elements of the INSPIRE conceptual schemas. How could we resolve such a situation? Would we need to agree on one particular ontology from the list, or could we use multiple? Do rules / best practices exist to handle such cases?

Not sure we need a general discussion on this. Maybe this can be handled on a case-by-case basis when the issue occurs.

I would merge this with issue #5 - the criteria should help with the decision.

Alright, let's leave it for now.
