vivo:Authorship restriction clarification #724

@mjaved495 writes:

vivo:Authorship has a (necessary) restriction "vivo:relates some foaf:Agent". This can be read as “every instance of vivo:Authorship vivo:relates to an instance of foaf:Agent” (this information may/may not exist in the database, open-world assumption). This seems incorrect specifically in case of ActivityInsight ingest feed where an vivo:Authorship vivo:relates to an vcard:Individual instead of foaf:Person. The restriction may be written as "vivo:relates some (foaf:Agent or vcard:Individual)" Javed

Low impact

This restriction (Authorship relates agent (only)) does appear to be in force in the running code. We are able to assert Authorship relates vcard or Authorship relates agent as needed. Changing the definition of Authorship to the more inclusive (and correct) agent or vcard would have no impact on the code, site triple stores or queries.
