Yale Data

Some feedback on the YCBA mapping

Lec updates:

All my fixes have been crossed out. New comments on brown color 

For testing I am only updating these two complete records:

• http://collection.britishart.yale.edu/id/page/object/499
• http://collection.britishart.yale.edu/id/page/object/757 based on a cursory examination of oai_tms.ycba.yale.edu_499.rdf sent by [~lec.maj@yale.edu] on 9 May 2012.
  Many of the fragments below are TTL, I've converted it to Turtle using http://any23.org

• should use crm:P3_has_note vs rdfs:label more consistently
  • Is is ok for me to follow LIDO - to - CRM mapping spreadsheet? How do I know when to use one or other?
• http://collection.britishart.yale.edu/id/thesaurus/indetifier/inventory-number: misspelled
  • This causes an invalid URI <crm:E55_Type> (prefixed yet enclosed in angle brackets)
• This causes a blank node that is not connected to anything (same for other legal bodies)http://collection.britishart.yale.edu/id/legal_body/500303557
• re http://collection.britishart.yale.edu/id/tgn/7008591/coordinates
  • skos:inScheme ycba_tgn:local : that's not a term value, so it should not be inScheme
  • a crm:E47_Spacial_Coordinates : misspelt
  • crm:P90_has_value "54.0000, -4.5000" : better express this in a structured way.
    • I am trying to represent this based on how Barry suggested using wgs84 http://collection.britishart.yale.edu/id/page/tgn/7002445/location
  • You may want to consider the paper Integration of Coordinate Information in CIDOC CRM
• <http://collection.britishart.yale.edu/id/object/499/dimension> a crm:E54_Dimension
  I can see the DisplayWrap crm:P3_has_note "78 1/4 x 48 1/8 inches (198.8 x 122.2 cm)"
  but should also be represented in a structured way (with two dimension nodes: object/499/width and object/499/height)
  • I am working on fixing this...
• crm:P82a_end_of_the_end "1752" : misspelt, that's P82b.
  • Also, you better put a type
• This is neither E55_Type nor E74_Group. It's a E4_Period@crm (see the Scope Note)
  • See BMX Issues#Theaurus Requirements for more guidelines
• This is definitely not E55_Type
  • I think this is better mapped to E52_Time-Span since it's not a cultural period and has only a time aspect
  • Consider using the excellent work on Handling Time Periods in STAR to assign actual dates to such time-spans, using the label
• In this below the Medium (technique) is mapped ok, but Support should be mapped to E57_Material and you should attach it with crm:P45_consists_of and crm:P126_employed. See Material and Medium-Technique for details
