Could RDA/RDF unconstrained properties be helpful for such use cases? I'd expect this to also be a fairly complete list. Looking at a very small, random sample of relator terms vs. RDA unconstrained properties to get some idea of coverage: Abridger / http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/abr >> has abridger / http://rdaregistry.info/Elements/u/P60394 Enacting jurisdiction / http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/enj >> (perhaps has enacting government / http://rdaregistry.info/Elements/u/P60096 isn't quite the same thing, and so no coverage here?)

Digital Initiatives Symposium 2024 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2023 07:19:49 -0700 From: Karen Coyle <li...@kcoyle.net> Subject: Re: [External] [CODE4LIB] Question about multiple declarations Thanks, Kevin. My question, originally, was whether the typing assigned can be seen as "OR" or "AND". I know that you can define SKOS entities as objects and as properties and these are not seen as being in conflict, but SKOS is very clear in defining this, making sure that it is open. In the LoC case, it is an OWL declaration of ObjectProperty and the class Role, a kind of punning. It seems to me that all of the declarations are always attached to the subject, and therefore using them as objects would trigger inferencing inconsistencies (OWL tends to be strict). Have you tried that? Or are you eschewing inferencing, as one often does. In any case, the big question was using the relators as properties and the object as a string. There are folks who need to do that, and it is a shame that there isn't an unconstrained version that would allow this, since the LoC list is the most complete of all lists we can find. Declaration as an rdf:Property would do that, and that would entail less "rule" on the property definition, while users could define their own more strict rules for their application. Again, this brings up how far you can go with punning - adding rdf:Property to the mix would probably just make things more confusing. I vote for simpler and less constrained at the vocabulary level, leaving constraints to the application profile level, so everyone can have the usage they need. kc On 10/20/23 11:23 AM, Ford, Kevin wrote: > Hi Karen, > > Steve is not wrong, but I think you are talking about two different things. > > Using a string with a Relators property would not conform to how they have > been defined at ID.LOC.GOV.

I just found the section in the (very confusing - OWL DL? 2? ugh) documentation where they specifically allow ObjectProperty and class. But I do want to continue (or at least emphasize) the question of constraining the relators to ObjectProperties. I honestly do think that such a choice should be up to the folks using the vocabulary, based on their needs. If BIBFRAME wants to require IRIs as objects that's fine. But I see the LoC vocabularies as not being limited to BIBFRAME - or at least, I think that would be a good approach. YMMV. kc On 10/23/23 7:19 AM, Karen Coyle wrote: > Thanks, Kevin.

In short: We received a hard drive that has massive amounts of duplicates, and they are starting the process of deduping and arranging it. They want somewhat finer control over which duplicates get retained (currently using FSlint and Bitcurator), so they can ensure 'complete sets' of files are retained. But it'd be great to not have to manually select *every* dedup preference in FSlint. For example: 1. There is at least one folder that contains numbered audio tracks. When we ran fslint raw, a few of these got deduped in favor of other copies in the filesystem. But it would have been preferred to keep these together. 2. If there is a directory in which most of the working files were originally created together. 3. We'd also generally prefer to keep the copies that will *not* result in, post-dedup, folders containing only a single file scattered throughout the directory. Hopefully some of that makes sense. Has anyone found any helpful workflows for streamlining the deduping/arranging process? All I could come up with is logging all of FSlint's decisions, so that any undesirable dedups could be more easily be tracked/reversed later, but I really just don't know enough about any of this.

Those files will be bit-for-bit exact copies of each other, and can be safely deduped. This technique won't catch the files where the content is substantially the same, except for insignificant changes (an embedded date stamp, for example), but it may get you some ways down the path. -- Scott -- Scott Prater Digital Library Architect UW Digital Collections Center University of Wisconsin - Madison -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries <CODE4LIB@LISTS.CLIR.ORG> On Behalf Of Emily Lavins Sent: Monday, October 23, 2023 10:12 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTS.CLIR.ORG Subject: [CODE4LIB] Deduping with finesse Hello Code4Lib, I received a question about deduping from one of our archivists and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience/recommendations for this sort of thing.
