[openbiblio-dev] literals and ows:sameAs

Tue Feb 8 18:07:43 UTC 2011

Ei there:

I look at our bibo:Book graphs (i.e.
http://bnb.bibliographica.org/entry/GB5006595.nt ) and I see there are
many objects that are Bnodes, and have an owl:sameAs with URI.

Specially in the case of the authors, I would rather apply
Occam's razor here and save one step in the rdf:

<http://bnb.bibliographica.org/entry/GB5006595>
<http://purl.org/dc/terms/contributor>
<http://bibliographica.org/entity/cc173131fa0d998642762e937b81e7a8> .

instead of

<http://bnb.bibliographica.org/entry/GB5006595>
<http://purl.org/dc/terms/contributor> _:b2007454 .

_:b2007454 <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#sameAs>
<http://bibliographica.org/entity/cc173131fa0d998642762e937b81e7a8> .

I think it will be better to save this step, isn't it? Specially I dont
like to have empty nodes for the authors/contributors, though it's also
happening with other triples...

Can we change this?

cheers
