I'd like to follow up on the five SNAP working groups that were convened at the Linked Pasts 6 symposium last year, and see if anyone has anything to report yet. As a reminder, the WGs were:
- WG1: Proposal to add a gender property to SNAP Cookbook (Gabby B, Scott S, Tom G)
- WG2: Proposal to document types of person-like/group-like entity (Greta H, Ulrike P, Scott S, Gabby B)
- WG3: Proposal to revisit the structure of attestations in the SNAP Cookbook, preferably simplifying the SNAP side of things and pointing to a bibliographical (vel sim.) construct elsewhere, with the most basic possible unit for comparison between
entities. (Hugh C, Yanne B, Alberto DR, Alexander IT)
- WG4: Proposal to encode qualification (e.g. uncertainty, sources, responsibility, disagreements, etc.) of assertions re identity, partial identity, relationships etc. (Nathan G, Gabby B, Yanne B, someone from MANTO)
-
WG5: Proposal to add a SNAP property for event to the disambiguator class. (Gabby B, Richard L, Tom G)
There was a little progress on WG1 and WG5, which I will report back on once I've conferred with the other participants (and if anyone would like to join those groups, please let me know!)
Greta, Hugh, Nathan, were you leading groups 2, 3 and 4 respectively? Could someone let us know what progress has been made there?
Many thanks,
Gabby
