remove ms:distributionLocation #8

Open pennyl67 opened 2 years ago

pennyl67 commented 2 years ago

Please, remove it; it has been merged with "ms:accessLocation" because it created confusion and programmatically the two made no difference.

I remember the discussion on this. In the LexBib catalogue, at the moment, I use ms:distributionLocation in cases where I am not sure if a URL is a landing page or an access location (these are the two subproperties of ms:distributionLocation, isn't it?)

I've looked at the MS-OWL as it currently is. Indeed, ms:distributionLocation is still included, having as subproperties ms:accessLocation, ms:downloadLocation and two more properties that don't have to be used in LexMeta (used only for s/w). To minimise the confusion, I suggest we use this as a "superproperty" only only in the ontology, and we use the ms:accessLocation for all CD-ROM, print dictionaries etc. where this information is expressed in a URL. What do you think?

Yes, we can do that. But I still think it is good to have ms:accessLocation for URL we know for sure it points to a page from where the resource can be downloaded from (so that the machine can display the page or look for the download link on the page), and ms:downloadLocation for URL we know for sure it is a direct download link (so that the machine or the user could directly do "save target as"). In case we are not sure, we could use the neutral superproperty. This is the way I currently use the three properties on LexBib.
