Phase 4: Appellation/Identifier Refactoring ✅

Duration: Late afternoon session
Files Modified: 9 files

Renamed Classes:

  • Identifier → CustodianIdentifier (CIDOC-CRM E42_Identifier)

Added Bidirectional CIDOC-CRM Links:

For Appellations (names, labels):

  • Forward: Custodian.appellations → crm:P1_is_identified_by → CustodianAppellation
  • Inverse: CustodianAppellation.identifies_custodian → crm:P1i_identifies → Custodian

For Identifiers (ISIL, Wikidata, VIAF):

  • Forward: Custodian.identifiers → crm:P48_has_preferred_identifier → CustodianIdentifier
  • Inverse: CustodianIdentifier.identifies_custodian → crm:P48i_is_preferred_identifier_of → Custodian

Files Modified:

  • 5 class files (Appellation, Identifier, Custodian, CustodianObservation, CustodianReconstruction)
  • 3 slot files (identifiers updated, appellations created, identifies_custodian created)
  • 1 main schema file (added imports, updated counts)

Schema Growth: 59 slots → 61 slots (+2: appellations, identifies_custodian)

Key Design Patterns Implemented

1. Hub-Observation-Reconstruction Pattern

Custodian Hub (minimal - just persistent ID):

Custodian:
  hc_id: https://nde.nl/ontology/hc/{abstracted-ghcid}
  appellations: [...]
  identifiers: [...]

CustodianObservation (source-based evidence):

CustodianObservation:
  refers_to_custodian: https://nde.nl/ontology/hc/{id}
  observed_name: "Rijksmuseum"  # As seen in source
  source: {...}

CustodianReconstruction (formal entity):

CustodianReconstruction:
  refers_to_custodian: https://nde.nl/ontology/hc/{id}
  legal_name:
    full_name: "Stichting Rijksmuseum"
  legal_form:
    elf_code: "8888"  # Dutch foundation

2. Bidirectional Linking Pattern

Forward Property (Hub → Child):

Custodian:
  appellations: [CustodianAppellation, ...]  # crm:P1_is_identified_by

Inverse Property (Child → Hub):

CustodianAppellation:
  identifies_custodian: Custodian  # crm:P1i_identifies

Benefits:

  • Query in both directions
  • Graph traversal efficiency
  • SPARQL query flexibility

3. Legal Entity Classification Pattern

Top-Level Classification:

legal_entity_type:
  code: "ORGANIZATION"  # or "PERSON"
  label: "Legal Person"

Jurisdiction-Specific Legal Form:

legal_form:
  elf_code: "8888"
  country_code: "NL"
  local_name: "Stichting"
  abbreviation: "St."

Temporal Validity:

registration_numbers:
  - number: "41215422"
    type: "KvK"
    temporal_validity:
      begin_of_the_begin: "1885-07-01"

Next Steps (TODO)

Immediate Actions Required

  1. ⏳ Regenerate RDF (all 7 formats reflect new appellation/identifier changes)

    cd schemas/20251121/rdf
gen-owl -f ttl ../linkml/01_custodian_name_modular.yaml > 01_custodian_name.owl.ttl
# ... repeat for all formats

  2. ⏳ Update UML Diagrams (show new appellations/identifiers slots)

    • Regenerate Mermaid with bidirectional edges
    • Regenerate PlantUML with new slots

  3. ⏳ Create Example Instances

    • Rijksmuseum with multiple appellations
    • Rijksmuseum with multiple identifiers
    • Show bidirectional linking in action

Optional Enhancements

  1. ⏳ SPARQL Query Library

    • Find custodian by ISIL code
    • Find all appellations for custodian
    • Find custodian by vernacular name

  2. ⏳ Performance Testing

    • Test large dataset queries
    • Benchmark graph traversal
    • Optimize SPARQL endpoints

  3. ⏳ Documentation Updates

    • Update SCHEMA_ARCHITECTURE.md
    • Update ONTOLOGY_ALIGNMENT.md
    • Create USAGE_GUIDE.md with examples
