kempersc f7bf1cc5ae Refactor schema slots and classes
- Deleted obsolete slot definitions: statement_summary, statement_text, statement_type, status_name, supersede_articles, supersede_condition, supersede_name, temporal_dynamics, total_amount, typical_contents, use_cases, was_acquired_through, was_fetched_at, was_retrieved_at.
- Updated existing slot definitions for states_or_stated to enhance clarity and structure.
- Introduced new classes: Article, ConditionofAccess, FinancialStatementType, MaximumQuantity, Series, Summary, Type, and their respective slots to improve schema organization and usability.
- Added new slots: changes_or_changed_through, has_or_had_condition_of_access, has_or_had_heritage_type, is_or_was_part_of_series, is_or_was_retrieved_at, maximum_of_maximum to capture additional metadata and relationships.

Hypothesis:
description: >-
A hypothesis or working assertion about uncertain or ambiguous data.
**USE CASE**: Institution Type Hypotheses
When an institution's type cannot be definitively determined, multiple
type hypotheses can be recorded with supporting/contradicting evidence
and confidence levels.
**STRUCTURE**:
- Asserted value (the hypothesis)
- Confidence level
- Supporting evidence
- Contradicting evidence
- Alternative interpretations
**ONTOLOGY MAPPING**:
- class_uri: skos:Concept (the hypothesis is a conceptual assertion)
- Related to prov:Entity (what is being hypothesized about)
class_uri: skos:Concept
close_mappings:
- prov:Entity
- schema:Claim
related_mappings:

attributes:
asserted_value:
range: string
required: true
description: >-
The hypothesized value or assertion.
Example: "MUSEUM", "ARCHIVE", "COLLECTING_SOCIETY"
confidence_level:
range: string
description: >-
Qualitative confidence level for this hypothesis.
Values: "high", "medium", "low", "very_low"
supporting_evidence:
range: string
multivalued: true
description: >-
Evidence supporting this hypothesis.
Example: "Uses term 'exhibitions' in description"
contradicting_evidence:
range: string
multivalued: true
description: >-
Evidence contradicting this hypothesis.
Example: "No physical location mentioned"
alternative_interpretation:
range: string
description: >-
Alternative interpretation of the same evidence.
Example: "Could also be interpreted as gallery based on art focus"
note:
range: string
slot_uri: skos:note
description: >-
General notes about this hypothesis.
annotations:
custodian_types: '["U"]'
custodian_types_rationale: >-
Hypotheses are primarily used for Unknown (U) type institutions
where the type is ambiguous and needs research to resolve.
custodian_types_primary: "U"
specificity_score: 0.8
specificity_rationale: >-
High specificity - only relevant for uncertain/ambiguous data.
