Re: Dataset description

Hi again Michel,

I was looking at the dataset description work. That's obviously 
interesting in this WG. I was looking in particular in some of the 
semantics which bring me to a few questions.

1. What is the reason for choosing

:chembl a dctypes:Dataset .

rather than

:chembl a dcat:Dataset .

or

:chembl a dctypes:Dataset, dcat:Dataset .   ??


2. This:

:chembl17
     dct:creator <https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/> .

Really?

Not

:chembl17
     dct:creator [foaf:page <https://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/>] .

or some such??

3. This one is very interesting and timely:

:chembl_target_targetcmpt_linkset
     pav:authoredBy <http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8011-0300> .

So you see an ORCID as a person, not a page about a person? High on my 
to do list for the coming week or so is to make good on a promise to 
ORCID to offer some advice on improving the semantics of the data they 
offer. One of the things I am *very* keen to avoid of course is the 
HttpRange-14 rat hole and my hope is that we can say that an ORCID URI 
identifies a landing page about a person. The person themselves would 
http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8011-0300#person (or similar). i.e. a frag ID 
to distinguish between the different things that currently the same 
identifier is used for (person, profile page, account etc.)

So I'm keen to know how you see this.

4. Similar to 2

:chembl
     dct:publisher <http://www.ebi.ac.uk> .

Hmm...

:chembl
     dct:publisher [foaf:homepage <http://www.ebi.ac.uk> ].

no ??


5. cf. question 2

:chembl
     foaf:page <http://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/> ;
     schemaorg:logo 
<http://www.ebi.ac.uk/rdf/sites/ebi.ac.uk.rdf/files/resize/images/rdf/chembl_service_logo-146x48.gif> 
.

So you currently have <http://www.ebi.ac.uk/chembl/> as the creator of 
the dataset and a page about it.

6. I note with interest the inclusion of citation guidance in the rights 
statement. Have you looked at the Force11 Data Citation principles? Do 
you think we should have a specific term(s) in DCAT for citation text? 
This is going to be very relevant in DWBP as we work on the data usage 
vocabulary (which is v likely to be a DCAT extension).

I know I'm being a pedant - call it a professional hazard - but I'm 
interested to see how semantic pedantry plays out in the real world. If 
the community at large is happy that the same URI identifies a creator 
and a page about something, or that every person with an ORCID has a 
MIME type then, that's the way the world is and I'll be quiet, but if 
not, let's see what we can do to help!

Cheers

Phil.
