rethink the modeling of 'academic field descriptor' and 'event topic descriptor' classes #108

Open StroemPhi opened 3 years ago

StroemPhi commented 3 years ago

Similar to #51, I have used SKOS wrong by subclassing it instead of using skos:Collenction and now need/want to correct that, by subsuming the two classes academic field and topic under the ioa:information content entity branch.

The commits c868cb5 & c868cb5 are artefacts I exidentally made because of my noobish rebasing of this branch onto https://github.com/tibonto/aeon/tree/issue51_fix_SKOS which is waiting to be approved in #107.

The other two was the first attempt to subsume academic field under obi categorical value specification. This however seems to be wrong, as https://github.com/RDFBones/RDFBones-O/issues/112 indicates that a CVS must be the spec of a meassurement and the academic field of an event is not meassured, but ascribed.

Academic field and topic have been subsumed under iao:data item and relabeled to 'academic field descriptor' & 'event topic descriptor' accordingly to indicate that this is not the concept academic field or the concept event topic itself but only the expression that is used to refer to these concepts. For our purposes this seems to be sufficient, as we don't need to know what an academic field or event topic actually is.

This might need to be changed again wrt the things mentioned in https://github.com/information-artifact-ontology/IAO/issues/237 and https://github.com/information-artifact-ontology/IAO/issues/236

Also it needs to be evaluated in how far https://github.com/FAIRsharing/subject-ontology can be reused.

StroemPhi commented 3 years ago

The basic idea was to have it as a iao:data item because those to things are metadata of an event or series that are not meassured but asserted by the creators of the event or series and can thus only be true or flase. E.g. the organizers of an event say that the topic of this event is 'AI and ML in the life sciences' on the event website. So the phrase 'AI and ML in the life sciences' would be the representation of an instance of event topic descritptor and be related to the event via the 'has event topic decriptor' object property. Similar the 'academic field descriptor' can be false, if the classification of the event was done wrong and not according to the specification of the used classification scheme.

Once https://github.com/information-artifact-ontology/IAO/pull/256 is merged and a new IAO release is present, AEON:0000027 'academic field descriptor' should be related to IAO:0020020 code set, which I understand to be the CV in which such descriptors are being defined.
