CustodianPlace.yaml (Updated) **Location**: `schemas/20251121/linkml/modules/classes/CustodianPlace.yaml` **Changes**: 1. **Added import**: `./FeaturePlace` to imports list 2. **Added slot**: `has_feature_type` - Optional link to FeaturePlace 3. **Updated description**: Added explanation of relationship to FeaturePlace 4. **Updated example**: Added feature type classification to Rijksmuseum example **New Slot Definition**: ```yaml has_feature_type: slot_uri: dcterms:type description: >- Physical feature type classification for this place (OPTIONAL). Links to FeaturePlace which classifies WHAT TYPE of physical feature this place is. Examples: - "Rijksmuseum" (place name) → MUSEUM (feature type) - "het herenhuis" → MANSION (feature type) - "de kerk op het Damrak" → PARISH_CHURCH (feature type) range: FeaturePlace required: false ``` **Enhanced Example**: ```yaml CustodianPlace: place_name: "Rijksmuseum" place_language: "nl" place_specificity: BUILDING has_feature_type: # ← NEW! feature_type: MUSEUM feature_name: "Rijksmuseum building" feature_description: "Neo-Gothic museum building designed by P.J.H. Cuypers (1885)" feature_note: "Rijksmonument, national heritage building" refers_to_custodian: "https://nde.nl/ontology/hc/nl-nh-ams-m-rm-q190804" ``` --- ## Integration Points ### 1. CustodianPlace → FeaturePlace **Relationship**: `has_feature_type` (optional) **Cardinality**: 0..1 (a place may have zero or one feature type classification) **Purpose**: Adds typological classification to nominal place references ### 2. FeaturePlace → CustodianPlace **Relationship**: `classifies_place` (required) **Cardinality**: 1 (every feature type classification must classify a place) **Purpose**: Links classification back to nominal reference ### 3. FeaturePlace → CustodianObservation **Relationship**: `was_derived_from` (required) **Cardinality**: 1..* (derived from one or more observations) **Purpose**: Provenance tracking for classification ### 4. FeaturePlace → ReconstructionActivity **Relationship**: `was_generated_by` (optional) **Cardinality**: 0..1 (may or may not have reconstruction activity) **Purpose**: Tracks formal reconstruction process --- ## Use Cases ### Use Case 1: Museum Building Classification ```yaml # Nominal place reference CustodianPlace: id: place-rijksmuseum-001 place_name: "Rijksmuseum" place_specificity: BUILDING has_feature_type: feature-rijksmuseum-museum-001 # Physical feature type FeaturePlace: id: feature-rijksmuseum-museum-001 feature_type: MUSEUM feature_description: "Neo-Gothic museum building (1885)" classifies_place: place-rijksmuseum-001 ``` ### Use Case 2: Historic Mansion ```yaml # Nominal place reference CustodianPlace: id: place-herenhuis-schilderswijk-001 place_name: "het herenhuis in de Schilderswijk" place_specificity: NEIGHBORHOOD has_feature_type: feature-herenhuis-mansion-001 # Physical feature type FeaturePlace: id: feature-herenhuis-mansion-001 feature_type: MANSION feature_description: "17th-century canal mansion with ornate gable" classifies_place: place-herenhuis-schilderswijk-001 ``` ### Use Case 3: Church Archive ```yaml # Nominal place reference CustodianPlace: id: place-oude-kerk-001 place_name: "Oude Kerk Amsterdam" place_specificity: BUILDING has_feature_type: feature-oude-kerk-church-001 # Physical feature type FeaturePlace: id: feature-oude-kerk-church-001 feature_type: PARISH_CHURCH feature_description: "Medieval church building (1306), contains parish archive" classifies_place: place-oude-kerk-001 ``` --- ## Ontology Alignment ### CIDOC-CRM Mapping - **CustodianPlace** → `crm:E53_Place` (conceptual place) - **FeaturePlace** → `crm:E27_Site` (physical site/feature) **Rationale**: - E53_Place: "Extent in space, in particular on the surface of the earth" - E27_Site: "Geometrically defined place that is known at that location" (subclass of E53) ### Schema.org Mapping - **CustodianPlace** → `schema:Place` (generic place) - **FeaturePlace** → `schema:LandmarksOrHistoricalBuildings` (heritage buildings) **Rationale**: - LandmarksOrHistoricalBuildings: "An historical landmark or building" - Aligns with Type F (FEATURES) in GLAMORCUBESFIXPHDNT taxonomy --- ## Validation Examples ### Valid: Museum with Feature Type ```yaml CustodianPlace: place_name: "Rijksmuseum" # ✓ Required has_feature_type: feature_type: MUSEUM # ✓ Valid enum value classifies_place: "place-rijksmuseum-001" # ✓ Links back was_derived_from: ["obs-001"] # ✓ Required refers_to_custodian: "custodian-001" # ✓ Required ``` ### Valid: Place WITHOUT Feature Type ```yaml CustodianPlace: place_name: "the building on Voorhout" # ✓ Required # has_feature_type: null # ✓ Optional - can be omitted was_derived_from: ["obs-002"] # ✓ Required refers_to_custodian: "custodian-002" # ✓ Required ``` ### Invalid: Missing Required Fields ```yaml FeaturePlace: feature_type: MANSION # ✓ Required # classifies_place: ???
