Suggestion to README.md: Explain terms to beginners (offer links) #9

Open gwpl opened 8 years ago

Hi!

Please consider adding better links to explanations or explanations to used terms. This could greatly help beginners. For example I know something about rdf, owl, DublinCore, but didn't know about "VRA". Unfortunatelly, following "The VRA Ontology" brought me to ontology, but not necessarily to info "foe what purpose was it made", "why, where, how, by whom is it used etc" to get better idea about both: * challenges you had to face * impact of your project.

Thank you gwpl for your feedback! You're correct we were making an assumption that anyone who came to the VRA Core ontology already knew something about the VRA Core data standard (which is not a good assumption). Would a simple link to http://www.loc.gov/standards/vracore/ answer most of your questions or do you feel more information is needed than that?

This page makes application of your work and how could I use it clear to me! Thanks!

When it comes about editing I would consider dropping quote from mentioned page here or there : "The VRA Core is a data standard for the description of works of visual culture as well as the images that document them. [For more info, please follow page... (link)]".

Thanks and good luck!
