Hi Dominic,
I understand the need to be careful. The email was a bit of a whim at the end of the day. However, I would argue that we are not an isolated node we have simply used ontology has the linking method and we have a very high level of linkage (or harmonisation) with our partners who have used the same mapping system.
As one of the persons involved in a data model [1] with aims quite similar to the CRM ones (and which is indeed mapped to CRM when there is overlap) I'm not going to disagree with that view!
I guess I could argue a little arrow to and from any CRM implementation without me inserting say some sameas triples (although, of course, I have no problem with this). Indeed our aim to create an environment for exploration across different object types, periods and cultures , not tie it down to pre-configured relationships. Can you tell me the address of the LOD-LAM list?
lod-...@googlegroups.com. In fact I'm already ccing this thread there, so that your dataset gets the advertisement it deserves, on that list :-)
PS. We should be moving off our very limited Endpoint soon and providing a more robust production Endpoint with fewer limitations in the near future (with images).
Great to hear that! Cheers, Antoine [1] http://pro.europeana.eu/edm-documentation
