Mapping RiC-O with Schema.org #72
Description
Or at least check if both can be easily combined and modify RiC-O if necessary to address the needs.
This cannot be done without working with the persons who manage Schema.org, whose uses, scope and granularity are quite different.
Also, as a reminder, @wildit wrote about this:
"There is a project in Switzerland that currently works on the mapping pipeline from RiC to schema.org. It's a research infrastructure for all kind of open research data, called Connectome (https://www.switch.ch/connectome/). Connectome is based on schema.org, see https://rescs.org/dev/entities-tree-classes.html and the SCHAL Shapes: https://github.com/Connectome-Consortium/rescs_shacl_shapes. @tobiasschweizer from SWITCH can tell you more.
In the case of Connectome, RiC is being used as an intermediary format for libraries and archives who want to integrate their catalogue data into Connectome. I work eg. on the mapper for Marcxml -> RiC for https://patrinum.ch/.
I'm interested to discuss the inconsistencies between RiC and schema.org and possible ways to combine the two. We will have this issue in all kind of fields, because RiC has to draw its boundaries somewhere and then work topgether with other ontologies. Other fields would be technical metadata (Premis) or controlled vocabularies (Skos)."
