# Session Summary - Appellation/Identifier Refactoring (2025-11-22)
## Session Overview
**Duration**: ~1 hour
**Date**: November 22, 2025
**Goal**: Connect orphaned `Appellation` and `Identifier` classes to the `Custodian` hub using CIDOC-CRM edge properties
## Status: ✅ COMPLETE
All objectives achieved. Schema validates successfully. Ready for RDF regeneration.
---
## What We Accomplished
### 1. Class Renaming ✅
**Problem**: `Appellation` and `Identifier` classes were disconnected from the Custodian hub - no relationship properties defined.
**Solution**: Renamed classes to make relationship clear and added bidirectional CIDOC-CRM properties:
| Old Name | New Name | CIDOC-CRM Class | Purpose |
|----------|----------|-----------------|---------|
| `Appellation` | `CustodianAppellation` | `crm:E41_Appellation` | Textual identifiers (names, labels) |
| `Identifier` | `CustodianIdentifier` | `crm:E42_Identifier` | Formal reference codes (ISIL, Wikidata) |
### 2. Bidirectional Linking ✅
Implemented proper graph edges using CIDOC-CRM properties:
#### For CustodianAppellation (Names)
**Forward Property** (Custodian → CustodianAppellation):
```yaml
Custodian:
slots:
appellations:
slot_uri: crm:P1_is_identified_by
range: CustodianAppellation
multivalued: true
```
**Inverse Property** (CustodianAppellation → Custodian):
```yaml
CustodianAppellation:
slots:
identifies_custodian:
slot_uri: crm:P1i_identifies
range: Custodian
required: false
```
#### For CustodianIdentifier (Formal IDs)
**Forward Property** (Custodian → CustodianIdentifier):
```yaml
Custodian:
slots:
identifiers:
slot_uri: crm:P48_has_preferred_identifier
range: CustodianIdentifier
multivalued: true
```
**Inverse Property** (CustodianIdentifier → Custodian):
```yaml
CustodianIdentifier:
slots:
identifies_custodian:
slot_uri: crm:P48i_is_preferred_identifier_of
range: Custodian
required: false
```
### 3. Files Modified ✅
**9 files total**:
#### Classes (5 files updated):
1. ✅ `modules/classes/Appellation.yaml`
- Renamed class ID: `Identifier` → `CustodianAppellation`
- Updated `class_uri`: `crm:E41_Appellation`
- Added `identifies_custodian` slot with documentation
- Added CIDOC-CRM property descriptions
2. ✅ `modules/classes/Identifier.yaml`
- Renamed class ID: `Identifier` → `CustodianIdentifier`
- Updated `class_uri`: `crm:E42_Identifier`
- Added `identifies_custodian` slot with documentation
- Added CIDOC-CRM property descriptions
3. ✅ `modules/classes/Custodian.yaml`
- Added `appellations` slot (forward property)
- Added `identifiers` slot (forward property)
- Both use proper CIDOC-CRM slot_uri mappings
- Both multivalued and inlined_as_list
4. ✅ `modules/classes/CustodianObservation.yaml`
- Updated `observed_name` range: `Appellation` → `CustodianAppellation`
- Updated `alternative_observed_names` range: `Appellation` → `CustodianAppellation`
5. ✅ `modules/classes/CustodianReconstruction.yaml`
- Updated `identifiers` range: `Identifier` → `CustodianIdentifier`
- Updated `identifiers` slot_uri: `dcterms:identifier` → `crm:P48_has_preferred_identifier`
- Updated documentation to reflect CIDOC-CRM alignment
#### Slots (3 files - 1 updated, 2 created):
1. ✅ `modules/slots/identifiers.yaml` (UPDATED)
- Changed slot_uri: `dcterms:identifier` → `crm:P48_has_preferred_identifier`
- Changed range: `Identifier` → `CustodianIdentifier`
- Added CIDOC-CRM documentation
- Added `inlined_as_list: true`
2. ✅ `modules/slots/appellations.yaml` (NEW)
- Created forward property for Custodian → CustodianAppellation
- slot_uri: `crm:P1_is_identified_by`
- range: `CustodianAppellation`
- multivalued: true, inlined_as_list: true
3. ✅ `modules/slots/identifies_custodian.yaml` (NEW)
- Created inverse property for CustodianAppellation/CustodianIdentifier → Custodian
- Specific slot_uri defined in class slot_usage (crm:P1i_identifies or crm:P48i_is_preferred_identifier_of)
- range: `Custodian`
- required: false
#### Main Schema (1 file updated):
1. ✅ `01_custodian_name_modular.yaml`
- Added imports: `modules/slots/appellations`, `modules/slots/identifies_custodian`
- Updated file count: 84 → 86 (+2 new slots)
- Updated comments to document new bidirectional linking slots
### 4. Schema Validation ✅
**Compiled successfully** with `gen-owl`:
```bash
$ cd /Users/kempersc/apps/glam
$ gen-owl -f ttl schemas/20251121/linkml/01_custodian_name_modular.yaml
# Output: Valid RDF/Turtle with expected namespace warnings
```
**Warnings** (expected and acceptable):
- Namespace mapping conflicts (heritage, schema, tooi) - resolved by import order
- Multiple owl types for language slot - acceptable for multilingual support
**RDF Output**: Schema compiles to valid OWL ontology with all CIDOC-CRM properties intact.

## Technical Details
### Hub Architecture Pattern
The Custodian hub now properly connects to its appellations and identifiers:
```
┌─────────────────────┐
│ Custodian Hub │ (Minimal - just hc_id + metadata)
│ crm:E39_Actor │
└──────────┬──────────┘
│
├─── crm:P1_is_identified_by ───────→ CustodianAppellation (E41)
│ │
│ └─ crm:P1i_identifies ─→ [back to hub]
│
└─── crm:P48_has_preferred_identifier ─→ CustodianIdentifier (E42)
│
└─ crm:P48i_is_preferred_identifier_of ─→ [back to hub]
```
### CIDOC-CRM Properties Used
#### P1_is_identified_by / P1i_identifies (Appellation)
**CIDOC-CRM Definition**:
> "This property describes the naming or identification of any real-world item by a name or any other identifier."
- **Domain**: E1_CRM_Entity (superclass of E39_Actor/Custodian)
- **Range**: E41_Appellation
- **Inverse**: P1i_identifies (E41_Appellation → E1_CRM_Entity)
**Use**: Official names, vernacular names, historical names, multilingual translations
#### P48_has_preferred_identifier / P48i_is_preferred_identifier_of (Identifier)
**CIDOC-CRM Definition**:
> "This property records the preferred E42 Identifier that was used to identify an instance of E1 CRM Entity."
- **Domain**: E1_CRM_Entity (superclass of E39_Actor/Custodian)
- **Range**: E42_Identifier
- **Inverse**: P48i_is_preferred_identifier_of (E42_Identifier → E1_CRM_Entity)
**Use**: ISIL codes, Wikidata Q-numbers, VIAF IDs, KvK numbers, ROR IDs
### Schema Statistics
**Before Refactoring**:
- Classes: 17
- Enums: 6
- Slots: 59
- **Total files**: 84
**After Refactoring**:

gen-owl -f ttl ../linkml/01_custodian_name_modular.yaml > 01_custodian_name.owl.ttl
# Generate all 7 other formats
rdfpipe 01_custodian_name.owl.ttl -o nt > 01_custodian_name.nt
rdfpipe 01_custodian_name.owl.ttl -o jsonld > 01_custodian_name.jsonld
rdfpipe 01_custodian_name.owl.ttl -o xml > 01_custodian_name.rdf
rdfpipe 01_custodian_name.owl.ttl -o n3 > 01_custodian_name.n3
rdfpipe 01_custodian_name.owl.ttl -o trig > 01_custodian_name.trig
