RE: TGN place types (broader/narrower spanning ConceptSchemes)

... and also Temporal Hierarchical Ordinal Reference System ontology http://lov.okfn.org/dataset/lov/details/vocabulary_thors.html



I understand the the W3C TIme ontology is likely to be revived as a consequence of the W3C/OGC Linking Geospatial Data workshop held at Google London last month -

Richard

FWIW what we have gathered so far in Linked Open Vocabularies regarding Time and Events is at
http://lov.okfn.org/dataset/lov/details/vocabularySpace_Events.html
http://lov.okfn.org/dataset/lov/details/vocabularySpace_Time.html

I have to add the new resources Osma has put in my radar in this conversation (SAPO, Change and maybe more).
The standardization of time/event/change ontology issue has been pending for years, without any substantial progress despite its importance.
The W3C Time Ontolgy has been stuck at draft stage since ... 2006. See  http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-time/
I tried as while ago to gather interested people in the framewaork of the LOV community, we had a first online meeting in December 2012 [1] but unfortunately there was no real follow-up.

Yes, I'd agree with that approach too.  What would be /really/ helpful

for end-users would be if the various historically-aware place
authorities (SAPO, TGN, Pelagios, PastPlace, ...) all used the /same

Possibly something CIDOC CRM-based?

You are right, of course. I'll cc Tomi as a hint of this thread. He is responsible for the modeling in SAPO.

(Tomi, full archives are here: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-esw-thes/ - unfortunately you need to check both March and April)
