RE: Property Guidance

Hi Leigh,
At the risk of being repetitive, it is another fairly good use case for the VMF architecture: http://www.doi.org/VMF/documents.html
The difference there is that you build consensus with the publisher of the vocabulary/property at the same time as building the equivalence table, and maintain an authoritative version that anyone can refer to.
Cheers,
Michael

Subject: Property Guidance

Hi,

I came across a nice report on twitter yesterday (apologies, I can't
recall from whom), which provides some guidance on creating Linked
Data for Bibliographic Data:

http://aims.fao.org/lode/bd

Specifically it recommends a number of properties and provides
guidance on how to select between alternatives. It includes some flow
diagrams to help describe the selection -- something I've not seen
before and which seems like a nice way to present the options.

Has anyone done this in other circumstances?

As an exercise I drafted a table (available in a Google Spreadsheet
[1]) to start mapping out some guidance for Equivalence Links [2].
Does anyone have any comments?

Cheers,

L.
