Dear David and Matthew,
Using a non-humanreadable
string for an ID has its merits, that are probably not
the first thing you, both English speaking, would
think of. If I refer to RDS45093 a person whose native
language is not English can refer to a translation of
the skos:prefLabel (in English) in his/her language,
if provided by their standardization body or else. If
we would start with IDs in English we would be in deep
trouble in certain regions of the world.
Next to the ID you can have one skos:prefLabel
per ID and as many skos:altLabels as you need.
Hi Hans,
For data, artificial URIs are fine. For classes and
properties in an ontology they are not. Even a non-English
speaker will have better luck distinguishing
PersonOrOrganization vs Organization rather than RDL94950595
vs RDL9459869 when reviewing an ontology or writing SPARQL.
Adding properties as labels useful for presentation in a user
interface does nothing wrt the issue I raise.
Cheers,
David
David,
When describing a property, class, or individual, I use the
following practice:
1. include an rdfs:label relation -- also look to skos:prefLabel
when what's being described has many known labels (very common in
our buzzword laden world)
2. include an rdfs:comments relation
3. include a dcterms:description relation -- if rdf:comments doesn't
suffice in regards to what's being described in prose
4. where possible include a foaf:depiction relation.
Using Linked Data based structured data representation patterns: 1-4
enable HTTP URIs [1], HTTP URLs [2], and WebIDs [3] that denote
whatever I am describing to remain opaque. Thus, if anyone needs to
know what I am describing they simply de-refrence the identifiers.
Links:
[1] http://bit.ly/1edQEKp -- HTTP URI
[2] http://bit.ly/1bHGrQu -- HTTP URL
[3] http://bit.ly/1elKLcn -- WebID .
