Hello RiC user group,
Apologies for the late notice, but I wanted to share the call for papers below, which pertains to the Association of Canadian Archivists conference next June. I mention it because one of the suggested topics is “How have archives adopted linked data and Records-in-Context?” (see the fourth bullet point under PROCESSES: Technologies and Techniques).
I am not involved in the organization of this conference, though I am preparing a proposal for submission based on the Archives of Ontario’s experiences with RiC so far. I thought perhaps a panel discussion might be possible if more participants are involved. Note, however, that the deadline for submission is 11 December.
Cheers,
Aaron Hope
As we approach our 50th anniversary, we want to take the opportunity to celebrate what ACA has accomplished, how the profession has changed over time, and how the concepts of archives and records have shifted and evolved. This anniversary is also an opportunity to critically look at the current state of archival work. Where do we go from here? How has ACA impacted communities, other disciplines, and generations both within and adjacent to archives? Let's imagine what our profession will look like for ACA at 100. Let this conference be a gathering place for new generations of archivists, established professionals, stakeholders, and community members. We encourage collaborative proposals that include these various perspectives.
9-12 June 2025
Richcraft Hall, Carleton University, Ottawa, ON
Proposals Deadline:
December 11, 2024, 11:59 pm PT
The 2025 ACA Program Team invites proposals that reflect on the theme of ACA at 50: Critical Reflections, Envisioning the Future.
Suggested Conference Topic Areas:
PEOPLE: Personal and Professional Identities
PROCESSES: Technologies and Techniques
POWER: Turning Disconnection into Collaboration
While panels and presentations related to people, processes and power will be highlighted at the 2025 ACA Conference - with proposals approaching these topics in an intersectional manner especially encouraged - the Program Team will consider submissions exploring other areas.
The Call for Student Papers and a Call for Posters will be announced in early 2025. Scholarships are available to students and are administered by the ACA Foundation.

Hello RiC User Group,
I have a question about inferencing when using RiC-O alongside our datasets. When I import the RiC-O rdf file into my triplestore it is very helpful in doing certain things, such as allowing inverse relationships to be established between entities. However, another thing it does is to infer triples that make entities become instances of their super-classes. It likewise infers all the super-properties above the particular properties that are used explicitly. So, for example, a corporate body like the Highway Standards Branch in the government of Ontario is inferred to be also a Group, an Agent, and a Thing (green nodes in this visualization):
A particular object property, like the one asserting that the Highway Standards Branch is the successor (rico:isSuccessorOf) of the Highway Engineering Division results in four super-properties being inferred: rico:followsInTime, rico:isAgentAssociatedWithAgent, rico:followsOrFollowed, and rico:isRelatedTo.
This inferencing tends to clutter up the visualizations, since it shows super-classes and super-properties that are redundant for simple data exploration. Is there any easy way to configure visualizations to exclude these higher level classes and properties? The triplestore I’m using here is GraphDB.
Thanks for any tips!
Aaron Hope

Hello again RiC User Group,
I am sorry to trouble you again so soon, but I have a question about modelling successor relationships when these relate to people holding positions. It would seem inappropriate to use the rico:hasSuccessor object property to represent a relationship between
person A and person B when they succeed each other in a certain position, because the position is just one aspect of their life (it’s not like person B is succeeding person A’s whole life and activities, unless, perhaps in the case of a monarch or similar).
Doing so would, in my opinion, also leave unclear in what respect person B is succeeding person A.
However, if the position itself remains unchanged, it’s not possible to use rico:hasSuccessor between two separate instances of the rico:Position class.
The only option I can think of is to use two instances of the rico:PositionHoldingRelation class with dates assigned that indicate person B took over the position after person A’s end date, but this still feels incomplete since the succession isn’t explicitly
stated (and the domain of rico:hasSuccessor makes clear that it applies only to agents).
Thanks for any ideas – I’m probably just missing something obvious!
Cheers,
Aaron Hope
Thank you Florence – extremely helpful and exactly what I was looking for. I do think the rico:asConcernsPosition property you suggested would be a good addition.
I’m looking forward to version 1.1. My thanks to you and all of EGAD for your work on this!
Cheers,
Aaron

Just to add I was meaning "For now, there is no rico:asConcernsPosition" object property in RiC-O, with domain AgentTemporalRelation (just a rico:asConcernsActivity)."
