Re: LMRI vs. Dublin Core Metadata Initiative

[Mark Diggory]

Just an idea... Seems like BIBO (http://bibliontology.com/) already set the stage for OWL/RDFS representation of DCMI terms for use in defining properties of Classes. As its already an Ontology that utilizes DCMI, it probably already has some significant examples of how such a mapping would be implemented and maintained. TBH, seems like some of the Bibo stuff should map quite nicely to the Schema.org Creative works and possibly suggest a few more.

Just a quick aside to clarify, http://schema.rdfs.org/mappings.html
[1] does say " The mapping will be available soon ..." but that's not
a commitment from schema.org; rather from the DERI contributors who
run schema.rdfs.org (see http://schema.rdfs.org/about.html ). The
schema.rdfs.org site was created independently from schema.org and did
some of the early work to improve schema.org's RDF support. It also
has the same colour scheme and a similar domain name, and so is easy
to confuse for schema.org.

That said, and juggling both my schema.org and DCMI hats, it is
certainly worth producing these mappings. The right forum to do that
is [2], but I'd expect to see them shared/linked somehow from
schema.org when they're done. If there's a demand for it, this can
even be in machine-readable form (either in the OWL dumps or perhaps
embedded in per-term metadata).

cheers,

Dan

I just created a basic mapping from schema.org classes to BIBO classes:

https://github.com/mhausenblas/schema-org-rdf/pull/33

https://github.com/nichtich/schema-org-rdf/blob/master/mappings/bibo.ttl

Feel free to modify and extend. I started with schema.org to BIBO, the reverse direction should also be added.

Cool; thanks Jakob!
