Dear All,
I believe ultimately there is only one answer. As long as we
mess up language labels with identifiers we are doomed.
As CRM-SIG we have proposed to use persistent identifiers
exclusively based on E and P numbers. It is up the implementers
to work out solutions that take that into account.
If implementers cannot do that currently, or mess up issues of
persistency and readability, it out of our control, and we can
only wait until the RDF world is ready to separate the language label
from the identifier. Opinions?
Cheers,
Martin

Why would foaf:name and rdf:type be stable enough and crm:E1_CRM_Entity not ?
The issue which came up in the meeting was that the ISO editors had
altered the labels of some properties in the course of producing the
2014 update to the standard, and this meant that we would have to
alter our RDF identifiers to match. So it is a change which is
outside our control, which impacts on the utility of our Linked Data
offering.
The extent to which we trust the stability of external frameworks is
another whole discussion, but suffice it to say that, unless we can
trust other peoples' identifiers, and use them, then there is no point
whatsoever to this Linked Data idea. :-)

The Linked Data manifestation of the CRM is primarily designed to be
produced and consumed by machine processes, and we shouldn't be
concerned about how "obvious" it looks to human observers. We can
develop software tools to provide tooltip explanations etc. where they
are required.
Of course, but we are not working with CRM (only) as end-users. I'm talking about our
"masonic" jargon.
