kempersc fa5680f0dd Add initial versions of custodian hub UML diagrams in Mermaid and PlantUML formats 
- Introduced custodian_hub_v3.mmd, custodian_hub_v4_final.mmd, and custodian_hub_v5_FINAL.mmd for Mermaid representation.
- Created custodian_hub_FINAL.puml and custodian_hub_v3.puml for PlantUML representation.
- Defined entities such as CustodianReconstruction, Identifier, TimeSpan, Agent, CustodianName, CustodianObservation, ReconstructionActivity, Appellation, ConfidenceMeasure, Custodian, LanguageCode, and SourceDocument.
- Established relationships and associations between entities, including temporal extents, observations, and reconstruction activities.
- Incorporated enumerations for various types, statuses, and classifications relevant to custodians and their activities.

2. RDF/OWL Regeneration (7 formats)

  • ✅ Generated OWL Turtle (91 KB, 1,555 lines)

4. Verification Checks

  • ✅ YAML syntax validation passed
  • ✅ No broken references
  • ✅ ReconstructionAgent appears in generated RDF (6 occurrences in TTL)
  • ✅ All ontology mappings preserved
  • ✅ Slot properties correctly reference new class

Files Modified Summary

Schema Files (9)

Total: 20 files modified/created

Ontology Enrichment

The rename improved ontology alignment:

Before (Agent):

  • 2 exact mappings (prov:Agent, foaf:Agent)
  • 4 close mappings
  • 0 related mappings
  • Total: 6 mappings

After (ReconstructionAgent):

  • 3 exact mappings (+rico:Agent)
  • 8 close mappings (+4: rico:CorporateBody, org:Organization, cpov:PublicOrganisation, schema:SoftwareApplication)
  • 2 related mappings (+2: pico:Agent, tooi:Overheidsorganisatie)
  • Total: 13 mappings

Improvement: +117% more ontology coverage

Breaking Changes ⚠️

What's Affected

  1. External RDF consumers - Class URI changed
  2. SPARQL queries - Need to update class references
  3. Instance data - Needs migration (if any exists)

What's NOT Affected

  • ✅ Semantic meaning unchanged (still provenance agents)
  • ✅ Property URIs unchanged (foaf:name, prov:wasAssociatedWith, etc.)
  • ✅ Ontology mappings preserved and enhanced
  • ✅ No data loss

Migration Path

# For YAML instance files
sed -i '' 's/^  Agent:/  ReconstructionAgent:/g' *.yaml

# For SPARQL queries
# Replace: <.../Agent/Agent>
# With: <.../ReconstructionAgent/ReconstructionAgent>

Remaining Tasks (Future)

Optional Enhancements

  1. ⏳ Update UML diagrams (Mermaid/PlantUML)

    • Location: schemas/20251121/uml/
    • Impact: Visual documentation only

  2. ⏳ Regenerate example instance files (if any use Agent)

    • Location: schemas/20251121/examples/
    • Current status: No Agent references found

  3. ⏳ Update README files (if they mention Agent class)

    • Check: schemas/20251121/*/README.md
    • Impact: User-facing documentation

Not Required

  • ❌ No example files using Agent class (verified)
  • ❌ No external API changes (internal schema only)
  • ❌ No database migrations (RDF is the database)

Verification Commands

Schema Validation

# Check YAML syntax
python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('schemas/20251121/linkml/01_custodian_name_modular.yaml'))"

# Verify no Agent references remain
grep -r "range: Agent" schemas/20251121/linkml/ --include="*.yaml"
# Should return: only AgentTypeEnum (correct)

RDF Validation

# Verify ReconstructionAgent in RDF
grep -c "ReconstructionAgent" schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name.owl.ttl
# Should return: 6

# Count triples
wc -l schemas/20251121/rdf/01_custodian_name.nt
# Should return: 1835

Documentation Validation

# Check updated mappings
grep "ReconstructionAgent" schemas/20251121/ONTOLOGY_MAPPINGS.md
# Should find: class section and summary table

Key Learning: Semantic Clarity Matters

Problem: Class name Agent was ambiguous

  • Could mean: heritage custodians (museums, archives)
  • Could mean: metadata creators (researchers, curators)
  • Comment "For public sector heritage custodians" was misleading

Solution: Renamed to ReconstructionAgent

  • Unambiguous: agents who create reconstructions
  • Clear distinction from heritage custodians
  • Better aligns with PROV-O: prov:wasAssociatedWith links Activity to Agent

Result:

  • ✅ More precise semantics
  • ✅ Enhanced ontology coverage (+7 mappings)
  • ✅ Clearer documentation
  • ✅ Better developer experience
