Discussion w/Profs Pattuelli and Miller
- What ontologies to use for triples?
- Research appropriate ontologies using Linked Open Vocabularies (https://lov.okfn.org/)
- Prof. Pattuelli is partial to CIDOC because it is the industry standard.
- Prof. Miller argues that the chosen ontology is not that important if the end goal is just something like providing a SPARQL endpoint.
- How this linked data will be used shapes ontology choices.
- Schema.org may be better for describing Provenance than CIDOC
- Dublin Core is another suggestion.
- Prof. Miller will ask colleagues at NYPL how they handle provenance indication.
How to handle database (whether or not to migrate to triple store)
- Setting up a triple store is potentially complicated
- JSON-LD files need to be fed in
- If MySQL data is being used to generate JSON-LD, may be better to just work on appending Joshua’s existing database for now and feed triples in triple store later
- Could also try to step up triple store locally to experiment. I tried setting up Marmotta this past week, but have thus far been unsuccessful.
