RE: [q] MAWG: Definition of subproperties

Jean-Pierre,
We are defining a tool to map with existing formats using a standardized vocabulary. The difference to Dublin Core is that our vocabulary encompasses semantic relations, such as property specifications (exact, related etc.) and sub-properties that are hierarchical properties to the core properties. 

I think another difference is that the MAWG Ontology/API had semantic web technologies in mind during the designing process, which was not available for the DC team. This means that our ontology should be more flexible and easy to add/improve mappings over time (for example by implmentation using RDF or XSLT)

Joakim,

Here we are.  Are we redefining a new Dublin Core ("a nice vocabulary that others would like to use" as you call it) or are we working on a tool to map with a number of existing formats?

It is a matter of scope.

In any case, if we want to do the former then we'd better work on RDF and leave those who have used other formats map to it. Then we would really be working on an ontology although archaic for an ontology.

As I said during the F2F, we would now badly need to know exactly what we are trying to achieve.

Regards,

Jean-pierre

Jean-Pierre did not like it because he doesn't believe that there will be mappings to all sub properties from all formats. Ex. "album title" in TVA, ID3 etc.

He has a point but I think that if we define a nice vocabulary that becomes popular, more mappings will follow from several contributors. Which by the way inclines that we should make it possible in the future to (easily) update the ontology. But I guess that has to do with the implementation.

Hi Joakim,

I agree, having subproperties is like extending the core set with qualifying terms for each of the attributes we defined. I think that having subproperties could give us a more precise way to define the mappings and not to end up in being too generic in parts where most of the formats we have in scope are more specific.

I have seen that there were some people that did not like the idea of subproperties @ the F2F. What were their arguments (if you remember)?

Best regards,

Tobias
