1.5. Subject Classifications [UNDER REVISION] #362

@wlpotter Can you revise this one please? 1.5. Subject Classifications [UNDER REVISION] SMBL reproduces the subject classifications used by Wright in his catalogue. A further description of this taxonomy will be added here.

wlpotter commented 2 months ago

We may want to discuss this. I don't think these are subject classifications. "Genre" is closer, which is why I used dcterms:type as the relation predicate -- though I'm not convinced that's exactly right, either, since for a manuscript that might refer more to its type (e.g., Physical Object or Manuscript) rather than to its contents.

So, on the one hand, I don't think we are doing subject classification. And, on the other, we need to decide what to call Wright's classifications and where in the documentation we want to put it

wlpotter commented 2 months ago

Possibly should be discussed as part of the Header section? (cf. #356 )

wlpotter commented 2 months ago

We will use this but note that we use Wright's genre terms rather than LCSH. To do here:

[ ] Reference the tei:head section as the place where we record this info for each ms or part
[ ] Add the list of taxonomy terms to this section
[ ] Note that we only use the most specific (bible-nt rather than just bible)
