Events in person records #1192

Open dlschwartz opened 1 month ago

dlschwartz commented 1 month ago

We have two types of events in person records, neither of which is sufficiently data-oriented to serialize it into RDF.

event/@type='veneration' contains a tei:desc element with a prose date without date element or attribute.
event/@type='attestation' contains a tei:desc element with tei:persName and tei:/title/@ref='[work URI]'

For veneration, I propose adding the date to the event using a @when attribute.

<event type="veneration" when="--##-##" ....> with the prose date remaining in the tei:desc.
This would result in a triple that looks like: person/# isVeneratedOn --##-##:

For attestation/commemoration, I propose turning these into relationships which can be easily serialized:

<relation type="attestation" ref="http://syriaca.org/commemorated-in" active="person/####" passive="work/####">
<relation type="attestation" ref="http://syriaca.org/attested-in" active="person/####" passive="work/####">

We also have the following in place records: event[@type='attestation']/desc. Unfortunately, these contain title and persName elements but typically no @ref attributes pointing to works or persons.

Thanks these changes sound good. I can put a student on that in the fall perhaps.

So please change type="attestation" to type="commemoration" for the cases where the textnode has "commemorated" (all but one of the events).

[x] Split Veneration off into its own issue.

[x] Need separate Issue for Person 2804
[x] Make sub issue

<event type="attestation" xml:id="attestation2804-1" source="bib2804-1">
                        <p xml:lang="en">
                            <persName ref="http://syriaca.org/person/2804">Elijah John Millos</persName> is commemorated in <title ref="http://syriaca.org/work/1826">Bar Hebraeus (text)</title>.</p>
                    </event>
