- Enhanced WorldHeritageSite.yaml by breaking long description into multiple lines for better readability and removed unused attributes.
- Simplified WritingSystem.yaml by removing redundant attributes and ensuring consistent formatting.
- Cleaned up XPathScore.yaml by removing unnecessary attributes and ensuring consistent formatting.

- Refined has_or_had_affiliation.yaml by removing unnecessary comments and ensuring clarity.
- Cleaned up is_or_was_retrieved_at.yaml by removing unnecessary comments and ensuring clarity.
- Added rules for generic slots and avoiding rough edits in schema files to maintain structural integrity.
- Introduced changes_or_changed_through.yaml to define a new slot for linking entities to change events.
- Deleted the following slot definitions:
- wikidata_class_slot
- wikidata_entity_label_slot
- wikidata_mapping_rationale_slot
- word_count_slot
- Added archived versions of the deleted slots to preserve historical data:
- wikidata_class_archived_20260114.yaml
- wikidata_entity_label_archived_20260114.yaml
- wikidata_mapping_rationale_archived_20260114.yaml
- word_count_archived_20260114.yaml
- Introduced a new hook `usePersonSearch` for enhanced semantic search functionality in the frontend, supporting debounced queries and caching.
- Consolidated valid_from and valid_to slots into a single temporal_extent slot in FundingRequirement, GiftShop, OrganizationBranch, OrganizationalChangeEvent, OrganizationalStructure, SocialMediaProfile, Storage, StorageUnit classes.
- Updated slot definitions to use TimeSpan for temporal_extent, providing structured validity periods.
- Removed deprecated slots: valid_from, valid_to, verified_by, wikidata_entity_id, and worldcat_id, archiving their definitions for reference.
- Adjusted related documentation and examples to reflect the new temporal_extent structure.
- Remove inline slot definitions from 144 class files
- Create 7 new centralized slot files in modules/slots/:
- custodian_type_broader.yaml
- custodian_type_narrower.yaml
- custodian_type_related.yaml
- definition.yaml
- finding_aid_access_restriction.yaml
- finding_aid_description.yaml
- finding_aid_temporal_coverage.yaml
- Add centralize_inline_slots.py automation script
- Update manifest with new timestamp
Rule 48: Class files must NOT define inline slots - all slots
must be imported from modules/slots/ directory.
Note: Pre-existing IdentifierFormat duplicate class definition
(in Standard.yaml and IdentifierFormat.yaml) not addressed in
this commit - requires separate schema refactor.
- Migrate 236+ class files from custodian_types to has_or_had_custodian_type
- Archive deprecated slots: custodian_type, custodian_types, custodian_type_broader/narrower/related
- Update main schema and manifest imports
- Fix Custodian.yaml class to use new slot
- Fix annotation format (list→scalar) in has_or_had_custodian_type.yaml
Rules applied:
- Rule 39: RiC-O naming convention (hasOrHad pattern)
- Rule 43: Slot nouns must be singular (multivalued:true for cardinality)
- Rule 38: Slot centralization with semantic URI
