Writing Fragids: call for participants

LD4LT friends,

As part of the work being conducted to consolidate LOD vocabulary for
linguistic annotations, I am exploring ways to devise and use IRI/URIs that
point to specific sections of writing (e.g., pages, chapters, phrases,
words, letters). Such a technology would allow linguistic RDF triples with
generally applicable semantics.

This task has been tackled several times, with varying results, and
normally from the perspective of those who curate or serve data. What about
those who are writing RDF triples, who wish to make a claim about a textual
work, and have it apply generally, across multiple media types? Or to use
such URIs independent of any particular data set, if it even exists?

I have drafted a proposal for a URI fragment identifier scheme that I am
calling Writing Fragids. These are early days, and we need participants.
What works? What doesn't? Why? What improvements can be made? Is it a
foolish idea? Should a completely different approach be taken? Is it even
possible?

If you would like to participate in this focused conversation, please
contact me, or one of the chairs (Christian Chiarcos, Thierry Declerk). It
is hoped to have an initial exploratory meeting in the next several weeks.

Best wishes,

jk
