- Updated documentation to clarify integration points with existing components in the RAG pipeline and DSPy framework. - Added detailed mapping of SPARQL templates to context templates for improved specificity filtering. - Implemented wrapper patterns around existing classifiers to extend functionality without duplication. - Introduced new tests for the SpecificityAwareClassifier and SPARQLToContextMapper to ensure proper integration and functionality. - Enhanced the CustodianRDFConverter to include ISO country and subregion codes from GHCID for better geospatial data handling.

# CallForApplication Class
|
|
# Models funding calls and grant application opportunities from heritage funding organisations
|
|
#
|
|

|
|
# - EncompassingBody (FundingOrganisation subclass) → issues → CallForApplication[]
|
|
# - Custodians can apply to these calls for heritage project funding
|
|
#
|
|
# Key relationships:
|
|
# FundingOrganisation (EncompassingBody) --issues--> CallForApplication
|
|
# CallForApplication --funding_organisation--> FundingOrganisation
|
|
# CallForApplication --web_observations--> WebObservation[] (provenance)
|
|
#
|
|
# Examples:
|
|
# - Horizon Europe CL2 2025 Cultural Heritage calls
|
|
# - Creative Europe Cooperation Projects 2025
|
|

|
|
description: |
|
|
A funding call or grant application opportunity issued by a heritage funding
|
|
organisation, inviting heritage custodians to apply for project funding.
|
|
|
|
**PURPOSE**:
|
|
|
|
CallForApplication bridges the gap between:
|
|
- **FundingOrganisation** (entities that provide heritage funding)
|
|
- **Heritage Custodians** (institutions seeking funding for projects)
|
|
|
|
Funding organisations like the European Commission, national heritage funds,
|
|
and private foundations issue regular calls for applications. These calls have
|
|
defined timeframes, budgets, eligibility criteria, and thematic focus areas.
|
|
|
|
**KEY RELATIONSHIPS**:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
FundingOrganisation (e.g., European Commission)
|
|
│
|
|
├── issues ──→ CallForApplication (e.g., "CL2-2025-HERITAGE-01")
|
|
│ │
|
|
│ ├── web_observations ──→ WebObservation[]
|
|
│ │ (provenance tracking)
|
|
│ │
|
|
│ └── funded_projects ──→ Project[]
|
|
│ │
|
|
│ └── funding_call (inverse)
|
|
│
|
|
└── parent_programme: "Horizon Europe"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**LIFECYCLE TRACKING**:
|
|
|
|
Calls progress through defined stages tracked via `call_status`:
|
|
- ANNOUNCED → OPEN → CLOSING_SOON → CLOSED → UNDER_REVIEW → RESULTS_PUBLISHED
|
|
- May be CANCELLED or REOPENED under special circumstances
|
|
|
|
**PROVENANCE TRACKING**:
|
|
|
|
Because call information is often extracted from web sources, each
|
|
CallForApplication should link to one or more WebObservation records
|
|
documenting when and where the information was retrieved.
|
|
|
|
**ONTOLOGY ALIGNMENT**:
|
|
|
|
- **Schema.org**: `schema:Offer` - "An offer to transfer some rights to an item
|
|
or to provide a service" (funding is a service/offer to heritage institutions)
|
|
- **Schema.org**: `schema:Grant` - Related class for awarded grants
|
|
- **Schema.org**: `schema:MonetaryGrant` - For actual grant awards
|
|
- **PROV-O**: `prov:Activity` - Call issuance as activity
|
|
- **Dublin Core**: `dcterms:relation` for related calls
|
|
|
|

**REPLACES UNSTRUCTURED FIELDS**:
|
|
|
|
The `requirements` slot provides structured alternatives to:

- `eligible_applicants` → ELIGIBILITY_ORGANIZATIONAL requirements
|
|
- `eligible_countries` → ELIGIBILITY_GEOGRAPHIC requirements
|
|
- `funding_rate` → FINANCIAL_RATE requirements
|
|
- `co_funding_required` → FINANCIAL_COFUNDING requirements
|
|
- `partnership_required` → PARTNERSHIP_* requirements
|
|
- `minimum_partners` → PARTNERSHIP_MINIMUM_PARTNERS requirements
|
|
|
|
Original fields are retained for backward compatibility but
|
|
`requirements` provides richer, provenance-tracked alternatives.

**Inverse of Project.funding_call**:
|
|
- CallForApplication → funded_projects → Project[]
|
|
- Project → funding_call → CallForApplication
|
|
|
|
**Schema.org Alignment**:
|
|
Uses `schema:fundedItem` - "Indicates something directly or indirectly
|
|
funded or co-funded through a Grant." Since CallForApplication represents
|
|
a funding opportunity that results in grants, the funded projects are
|
|
the items ultimately funded.
|
|
|
|
**RELATIONSHIP MODEL**:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
CallForApplication (e.g., "HORIZON-CL2-2025-HERITAGE-01")
|
|
│
|
|
└── funded_projects ──→ Project[]
|
|
│
|
|
└── funding_call ──→ CallForApplication
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**DISTINCTION FROM funding_source**:
|
|
|
|
- `Project.funding_source`: String description of where funding comes from
|
|
(legacy field, may list multiple sources including non-call sources)
|
|
- `Project.funding_call`: URI reference to specific CallForApplication
|
|
that funded this project (structured, semantic link)
|
|
|
|
Both can coexist - funding_source for human readability, funding_call
|
|
for machine-navigable linked data.
