Re: Discussion about previous proposal

I think the other point is that at the moment the definition on http://archive.sdo-archive.appspot.com/ArchivedItem says “An item in an archive collection.” which is misleading (IMO at least). Just having a look around it looks like this text also appears on

http://archive.sdo-archive.appspot.com/CurationEvent

Both these need updating to accurately reflect the proposal.

> To indicate a Thing (Book, ImageObject, Vehicle) is in an archive the ArchivedItem type is added as an additionalType.  This gives access, in addition to the normal properties for the type in question, to the archive specific properties, to use to markup the item.
