Instances of identifier named in conformance with schema/pattern

[edwardanderson]

Thank you for the recommendations on implementing identifiers in yesterday's call (#421). I've been working on improving our own templates for identifiers and realised I am uncertain how (and where) to describe certain properties of an identifier's name.

For example, we would like to record that the identifier "SK-C-5" is the "Object Number"@en and "Objectnummer"@nl of a painting. Are these names direct properties of the instance of the identifier, or does the identifier conform to some other CRM entity (representing the underlying field in the source system) with its own names and properties?

  a <http://www.cidoc-crm.org/cidoc-crm/E22_Human-Made_Object> ;
  crm:P1_is_identified_by [
    a crm:E42_Identifier ;
    crm:P1_is_identified_by [
      a crm:E33_E41_Linguistic_Appellation ;
      crm:P190_has_symbolic_content "Object Number" ;
      crm:P2_has_type <http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300404670> ;
      crm:P72_has_language <http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300388277>
    ], [
      a crm:E33_E41_Linguistic_Appellation ;
      crm:P190_has_symbolic_content "Objectnummer" ;
      crm:P2_has_type <http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300404670> ;
      crm:P72_has_language <http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300388256>
    ] ;
    crm:P190_has_symbolic_content "SK-C-5" ;
    crm:P2_has_type <http://vocab.getty.edu/aat/300312355> ;
    crm:P37i_was_assigned_by [
      a crm:E15_Identifier_Assignment ;
      crm:P14_carried_out_by <https://id.rijksmuseum.nl/21018560> 
    ]
  ] .

With this pattern (above), it's necessary to make blank Name nodes for every occurrence of our "Object Number" identifier (a lot). Also, these Name nodes aren't really specific to the particular instance of identifier. So instead, is there a pattern where the identifier node conforms_to (or other) a class of identifier which is named only once (and could be further annotated)?

Ah, maybe I simply apply an extra P2_has_type to the Identifier and mint a thesaurus term for "Object Number". Simple as that?

A Type with names seems easy, and makes it easier to be consistent by reusing that Type with all your identifiers :)

Okay to close?
