RDF schema

Spent the day trying to visualise the schema that would be required to describe the Landscape-Portrait project overall as well as some of its video elements, from this I can hopefully develop a template which can be produced by Paul as part of a script.


Here is the schema:


Red is the entity, green properties, yellow classes etc, from this I was able to map different vocabularies for most of the entities, properties and classes; see here:

Interestingly I couldn't find a entity of either a 'question' or an 'answer' - I thought these might be sub properties or classes of a entity but could
not find it.

Found some interesting art related ontology's here:

http://dlib.york.ac.uk/ontologies/Openart/index.html
http://linkedevents.org/ontology#sec-namespace

Which were taken from here:

http://www.asis.org/Bulletin/Feb-12/FebMar12_Allinson.html


What is interesting is the degree of sophistication that is permissible in some spaces and not others, think we'll need to create 'community art' as a ontological term as none that I can see come near to it - Fro instance when looking at the FOAF ontology I was interested to see this property

http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_myersBriggs

Which has 16 personality classifications which can be used to describe a person -

RDF/RDFa/DataDump/Ontologies

Working through the different options I am now thinking to make either a RDF file, or include a RDFa snippet into the web page. Problem is that the Landscape-Portrait site is dynamically generated and there is not page that explicitly contains the video elements. Therefore we might create RDF pages for each postcode, an include all the portraits that relate to the postcode. What is also of interest is the idea that I might create (how do you create) a ontology to describe community artworks, this might include all differences of method and methodology.

Alongside all of this will be a data-dump of the metadata of Landscape-Portrait, so other users can download and make use of it.
