Source-specific facts live in PersonObservation. - Use this pattern to connect multiple sources without asserting which is "correct". Hub architecture (conceptual) ``` PersonObservation --refers_to_person--> Person (source: LinkedIn 2024) (source: Annual Report 2020) | | +------------ same hub -------------+ ``` Distinction from PersonObservation | Aspect | Person (Hub) | PersonObservation | |--------|--------------|------------------| | Purpose | Abstract identity | Evidence-based data | | Contains | Minimal: identifier, name | Rich: roles, affiliations, dates | | Temporal | Timeless identity | Point-in-time snapshot | | Source | Canonical node | From a specific source | | Count | One per person | Many per person | Typical use cases 1) Cross-custodian career tracking Same person appears in multiple institutional sources; all observations attach to one hub. 2) Source reconciliation Different sources give different titles/spellings; keep both as observations. 3) Event participation When modeling events, link events to the Person hub (not individual observations). External alignment - PiCo: pico:Person (hub) vs pico:PersonObservation (evidence) - PersonObservation -> Person via pico:observationOf (refers_to_person) - Person -> PersonObservation via pico:hasObservation (inverse) - CIDOC-CRM: crm:E21_Person "This class comprises real persons who live or are assumed to have lived." Relationship to Custodian Person and Custodian are parallel hub classes, both subclasses of crm:E39_Actor. A custodian can be a person (private collector), but typically: - Person: individual human - Custodian: organization/group/institution Longer illustrative example (conceptual; slot names may differ by profile) ```yaml Person: identified_by: "https://nde.nl/ontology/hc/person/taco-dibbits" has_name: "Taco Dibbits" # Observations from different sources: PersonObservation: # From LinkedIn person_name: "Taco Dibbits" role_title: "General Director" refers_to_person: "https://nde.nl/ontology/hc/person/taco-dibbits" observation_source: "LinkedIn profile, 2025-01-15" PersonObservation: # From annual report person_name: "T.J.S.
