Need ambiguity note type and ask for it in AAT

beaudet commented 5 years ago

To allow for recording confidence in statements, we should create an ambiguity note and ask for a term in AAT to represent it.

Maybe we can start listing cases: does this include "circa" dates?

beaudet commented 5 years ago

Potential use cases:

question marks or circa symbol in dates
question marks in nationality
questions of precision where ISO date is required but only year is known
attribution to a workshop rather than an artist herself
possible attribution to anonymous artists ?? not sure this is a good fit but we could discuss

Do we have a way to indicate other types of uncertainty such as provenance of data? Or when names change (e.g. Saint Petersburg became Leningrad, which became Saint Petersburg).

There's now "possibly": http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300435722

Which would be appropriate to use as the classification of an AttributeAssignment. That said, this pattern is very verbose and we should be careful that we don't turn everything into an attribute assignment. We've avoided going into detail on uncertainty, I think we should continue to be very restrained in our meta-meta-data.

At SARI we do have selected and created set of attributes for defining five type of issues with our information:

Incomplete
Inconsistent
Vague
Imprecise
Uncertain

We did kept it simply in order to flag the type of ambiguity problems in our data, specifying if something is unknown, not certain or not precise. We do use it as a type and the vocabulary are present here:

https://github.com/swiss-art-research-net/vocab/blob/master/uncertainty/uncertainty.ttl

Example in the slide below, where we defined the time as imprecise and added the "circa" as rdfs:label

sari 001
