We definitely started the CRM before the technology was generally
available but expected. The primary criterion is that the model
reflects our insight about the scientific discourse we target at.
As such, I see the model-level discussion to be between reasoning
about "proposition sets" versus a "single binary proposition".
The technical discussion should be about best and most effective
approximations, regardless popular or not. The effectiveness will
depend on use cases and platform requirements.

Please let us know, who is interested in participating in a

Hi

Just a quick question on this. We develop the model
independently of technology. I can see that this discussion is
getting technical. I currently implement propositions sets using
RDF named graphs because we can and it works but it is
not stipulated. Rob suggests that there are tech upgrades that
might suit this issue better. However, isn't it the case that we
need to be able to implement in different ways (I don't
currently know much about RDF*) depending on the systems we
have? How is RDF* implemented? - is it backwardly compatible
with what we are all using? Do we give more modelling credence
to things that everyone uses? etc., etc. But aren't these
questions the reason why we are technology independent?  Given
this, my question is, - have we got to a stage when the
modelling now depends on a particular technology?  Can someone
provide some clarification on this? Which solution is tech
independent? Are they all independent of this tech discussion?
One is at least.

Named Graphs are not a very specific technology, if we take
the fact that all current triple stores are actually
implemented as quad stores, regardless whether they call the
construct "Named Graph" or "context". We have used and
implemented this feature, and it is very performant. It runs
on BlazeGraph as well. I think their is not a simple answer
to that. Performance can become a major issue, when you have
really a lot of data.

For the attribution of artists and "style of" vs "school of"
etc. of the collection management system of the British
Museum, the ResearchSpace Project had created a set of
subproperties of P14 carried out by, which could be used as
input for a roles vocabulary.

I did not propose to use Dig as is, but to consider the
construct. The W3C annotation model is very interesting. We
would need a connection to the Creation Event of making an
annotation, and whose opinion it is, in order to make it CRM
compatible. Why not allowing a Named Graph as target?  We
should compare the segment construct of the W3C annotation
model with the METS  types and extensions we used. The
Dig model was used to trace provenance of annotated area
through transformations of digital objects. That was very
important for exchanging research insights on 3D models. To
be discussed!

 We can extend E13 to Proposition Sets, which would be very
important to describe consistently CRMinf and generalized
observations. That would then be most effectively implementd
via Named Graphs.
