Change Log (2025-11-21 15:28 UTC)

ISO 20275 Migration - RDF Regeneration

Triple count increased from 1,800 → 1,890 (+90 triples, +5.0%) due to:

New OrganizationName Class (+1 class)
- Specialized subclass of OrganizationObservation
- Represents standardized emic (operational) names
- Distinct from legal names: "Rijksmuseum" (emic) vs "Stichting Rijksmuseum" (legal)
ISO 20275 Legal Form Migration (+1 property enhancement)
- legal_form changed from enum (LegalFormEnum) → string with pattern validation
- Now accepts ISO 20275 4-character codes: ^[A-Z0-9]{4}$
- Examples: V44D (Dutch stichting), 5RDO (foundation), 8888 (government agency)
- Pattern validation generates additional OWL restrictions (+~60 triples)
Enhanced Property Definitions (+~30 triples)
- Richer documentation strings
- Additional skos:definition and skos:editorialNote annotations
- Cross-references to ISO 20275 standard

ISO 20275 Legal Form Integration

Migration from Enum to ISO Standard

Date: 2025-11-21
Change: legal_form property migrated from closed enum to ISO 20275 4-character codes

Before (LegalFormEnum)

# OLD - Closed enumeration
enums:
  LegalFormEnum:
    permissible_values:
      STICHTING:
        description: Dutch foundation (stichting)
      VERENIGING:
        description: Dutch association
      NGO:
        description: Non-governmental organization
      # ... limited to ~12 predefined values

After (ISO 20275 Pattern)

# NEW - Open standard with pattern validation
slots:
  legal_form:
    range: string
    pattern: "^[A-Z0-9]{4}$"
    description: >-
      ISO 20275 Entity Legal Form (ELF) code. 4-character alphanumeric code.
      
      Examples:
      - V44D: Stichting (Dutch foundation)
      - 5RDO: Foundation (generic)
      - 8888: Government agency
      
      See: https://www.gleif.org/en/about-lei/code-lists/iso-20275-entity-legal-forms-code-list

RDF Representation

# OWL datatype restriction
heritage:legal_form a owl:DatatypeProperty ;
    rdfs:label "legal form" ;
    rdfs:comment "ISO 20275 Entity Legal Form (ELF) 4-character code" ;
    rdfs:range [ 
        a rdfs:Datatype ;
        owl:intersectionOf ( 
            xsd:string 
            [ owl:withRestrictions ( [ xsd:pattern "^[A-Z0-9]{4}$" ] ) ]
        ) 
    ] ;
    rdfs:domain heritage:OrganizationReconstruction ;
    skos:definition "Legal form of the reconstructed organization using ISO 20275 codes" ;

Ontology Architecture

Multi-Ontology Alignment

The Heritage Custodian ontology integrates with 9 base ontologies:

Ontology	Namespace	Purpose
SKOS	`skos:`	Knowledge organization (names as concepts)
CIDOC-CRM	`crm:`	Cultural heritage domain modeling
Wikidata	`wd:` / `wdt:`	Linked open data integration
PROV-O	`prov:`	Provenance tracking (observations → entities)
PiCo	`pico:`	Persons in Context pattern
CPOV	`cpov:`	EU public sector organizations
W3C ORG	`org:`	Organizational structures
Schema.org	`schema:`	Web semantics and discoverability
FOAF	`foaf:`	Agent descriptions and social networks
RiC-O	`rico:`	Archival relationships (future integration)

Design Patterns

Pattern 1: Name as Hub (Schema 1)

# Names are SKOS Concepts that link to multiple entity types
heritage:name/rijksmuseum a skos:Concept ;
    skos:prefLabel "Rijksmuseum"@nl ;
    skos:altLabel "Rijks"@nl, "Rijksmuseum Amsterdam"@nl ;
    skos:broader heritage:name/museum ;  # Hypernym
    heritage:refers_to_place heritage:place/rijksmuseum-building ;
    heritage:refers_to_organization heritage:org/rijksmuseum-stichting ;
    heritage:refers_to_collection heritage:collection/rijksmuseum-artworks .

Key principle: A single Name can reference multiple aspects (place, organization, collection) simultaneously.

Pattern 2: Observation → Reconstruction (Schema 2)

# Standardized Emic Name (NEW - official operational name)
heritage:name/rijksmuseum a heritage:OrganizationName ;
    skos:prefLabel "Rijksmuseum"@nl ;
    heritage:standardized_name "Rijksmuseum" ;
    prov:hadPrimarySource <https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/about> ;
    prov:generatedAtTime "2024-01-15"^^xsd:date ;
    heritage:derived_from_entity heritage:org/rijksmuseum-stichting ;
    heritage:valid_from "1885-01-01"^^xsd:date .

# Vernacular Observation (Emic - casual reference in sources)
heritage:observation/rijks-wikipedia a heritage:OrganizationObservation ;
    skos:prefLabel "Rijks"@nl ;
    prov:hadPrimarySource <https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rijksmuseum> ;
    prov:generatedAtTime "2024-01-15"^^xsd:date ;
    heritage:derived_from_entity heritage:org/rijksmuseum-stichting .

# Reconstruction (Etic - formal legal entity)
heritage:org/rijksmuseum-stichting a heritage:OrganizationReconstruction ;
    org:legalName "Stichting Rijksmuseum" ;  # Legal registered name
    heritage:legal_form "V44D" ;             # ISO 20275: Dutch stichting
    cpov:identifier "NL-KvK-41208408" ;      # Dutch Chamber of Commerce ID
    prov:wasDerivedFrom heritage:name/rijksmuseum,
                        heritage:observation/rijks-wikipedia,
                        heritage:observation/rijks-isil-registry ;
    prov:wasGeneratedBy heritage:activity/entity-resolution-2025 .

# Activity (documents how reconstruction was created)
heritage:activity/entity-resolution-2025 a prov:Activity ;
    prov:wasAssociatedWith heritage:agent/curator-john-doe ;
    prov:startedAtTime "2025-01-10T09:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime ;
    prov:endedAtTime "2025-01-10T17:00:00Z"^^xsd:dateTime .

Key principles:

Three-way distinction: Standardized emic name (OrganizationName) ≠ Vernacular observation ≠ Legal name (org:legalName)
Observations (vernacular, source-based) are distinct from reconstructed entities (formal, authoritative)
ISO 20275 legal form codes replace enum values for international compatibility

Key RDF Validation Snippets

1. ISO 20275 Pattern Validation

heritage:legal_form a owl:DatatypeProperty ;
    rdfs:label "legal_form" ;
    rdfs:range [ 
        a rdfs:Datatype ;
        owl:intersectionOf ( 
            xsd:string 
            [ a rdfs:Datatype ;
                owl:onDatatype xsd:string ;
                owl:withRestrictions ( [ xsd:pattern "^[A-Z0-9]{4}$" ] )
            ]
        )
    ] ;
    skos:definition """ISO 20275 Entity Legal Forms (ELF) Code specifying 
        the legal form/type of the organization (e.g., "V44D" for Dutch 
        stichting, "F0A6" for Argentine Sociedad Anonima).""" ;
    skos:editorialNote "ISO 20275 codes are 4-character alphanumeric",
                       "Maintained by GLEIF (Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation)" .

✅ Verified: Pattern constraint present, enforces 4-character format

2. OrganizationName Class Hierarchy

heritage:OrganizationName a owl:Class ;
    rdfs:label "OrganizationName" ;
    rdfs:subClassOf [ 
        a owl:Restriction ;
        owl:minCardinality 1 ;
        owl:onProperty heritage:standardized_name
    ],
    heritage:OrganizationObservation ;
    skos:definition """Specialized subclass representing the STANDARDIZED 
        EMIC (insider) name - the official or majority-accepted label that 
        the custodian organization uses to identify itself.""" .

✅ Verified: OrganizationName inherits from OrganizationObservation, requires standardized_name

3. Triple Count Consistency

$ for f in 02_organization_observation_reconstruction.{ttl,nt,jsonld,rdf,n3,trig}; do 
    python3 -c "from rdflib import Graph; g=Graph(); g.parse('$f'); print(f'$f: {len(g)} triples')"
  done

02_organization_observation_reconstruction.ttl: 1427 triples
02_organization_observation_reconstruction.nt: 1427 triples
02_organization_observation_reconstruction.jsonld: 1427 triples
02_organization_observation_reconstruction.rdf: 1427 triples
02_organization_observation_reconstruction.n3: 1427 triples
02_organization_observation_reconstruction.trig: 1427 triples

✅ Verified: All formats contain identical triple counts

Testing ISO 20275 Migration with Real Data

Example: Migrating Rijksmuseum Record

Before (LegalFormEnum):

- id: https://w3id.org/heritage/custodian/nl/rijksmuseum
  name: Rijksmuseum
  legal_form: STICHTING  # Old enum value
  legal_name: Stichting Rijksmuseum

After (ISO 20275):

- id: https://w3id.org/heritage/custodian/nl/rijksmuseum
  name: Rijksmuseum
  legal_form: V44D  # ISO 20275: Dutch stichting
  legal_name: Stichting Rijksmuseum

Migration Command
