[openbiblio-dev] Exposing as RDF...

Sat Jun 26 11:40:35 UTC 2010

Hi

I'll start abrubtly :-)

Imagine I want to expose a "manifestation record" as RDF triples (I'm not a RDF fan, but ... :-).

Supose the manifestation's GUID is a657df1b-565f-4150-99e1-438d3acc22b5.

How should I expose (let's say) the title area ?

1) As one triple (display form) ?

subject:  a657df1b-565f-4150-99e1-438d3acc22b5
predicate: isbd:title & responsibility area
object: "Contre les valeurs bourgeoises / par Gilbert Ganne. Pour les valeurs bourgeoises / par Georges Hourdin"@fr

2) Each element as a distinct triple ?

subject:  a657df1b-565f-4150-99e1-438d3acc22b5
predicate: isbd:title & responsibility area
object: a

subject: a
predicate: ex:title group
object: a1

subject: a
predicate: ex:title group
object: a2

subject: a1
predicate: isbd:title proper
object: "Contre les valeurs bourgeoises"@fr

subject: a1
predicate: isbd:responsibility
object:  "par Gilbert Ganne"@fr

subject: a2
predicate: isbd:title proper
object:  "Pour les valeurs bourgeoises"@fr

subject: a2
predicate: isbd:responsibility
object:  "par Georges Hourdin"@fr

Note that I loose the order of the two title groups within the area !

3) As one triple (MARC form)

subject:  a657df1b-565f-4150-99e1-438d3acc22b5
predicate: isbd:title & responsibility area
object: "$aContre les valeurs bourgeoises / $cpar Gilbert Ganne. &aPour les valeurs bourgeoises / $cpar Georges Hourdin"@fr

or even:

subject:  a657df1b-565f-4150-99e1-438d3acc22b5
predicate: isbd:title & responsibility area
object: "$aContre les valeurs bourgeoises $cpar Gilbert Ganne &aPour les valeurs bourgeoises $cpar Georges Hourdin"@fr

Should we vote ? :-)
