Person contact details

[philbarker]

Our model provides the address for a student via a Contact object (which allows for contextualizing of the contact), CEDS attaches the address directly to the Person.

Should we use:

• A CTDL ContactPoint

  graph LR
  S(Student) -- ceterms:targetContactPoint --> C(ceterms:ContactPoint) -- xyz:address --> A(ceds:Address)

• Schema.org ContactPoint

  graph LR
  S(Student) -- schema:contactPoint --> C(schema:ContactPoint)  -- xyz:address --> A(ceds:Address)

• Create pesc: terms

  graph LR
  S(Student) -- pesc:contactPoint --> C(pesc:ContactPoint)  -- xyz:address --> A(ceds:Address)

• or adopt the CEDS model:

  graph LR
  S(Student) -- ceds:hasPersonAddress --> A(ceds:PersonAddress)

I would have done it like CEDS but I'm no RDF expert. Should we recommend CEDS do it differently?

[philbarker]

From meeting today:

• Contact is used by organization as well as person
• Address data is reusable and could (in principle, in the future) be referenced by id
• Might need different contactTypes for same address for different people No argument against keeping ContactShape.

Agreement to use CTDL where CEDS does not have coverage.

Therefore:

• keep current model
• use ceterms: properties for contact point

@4pins both are valid in RDF, and schema.org actually allows both. After reflection I prefer using a ContactPoint object because it clarifies the relationship between the person and the address, otherwise it could be a term-time address, permanent residence address, PO box contact or whatever.

Alright.

As long as we are aligning with preexisting things on one side or the other, that is all I can really ask for.
