Ahh sent this a bit too soon. I now see schema.org <http://schema.org> doesn't accept outside vocabularies. Sorry for the noise.

    Hello,

    Someone asked me today how Cidoc-crm and Frbroo fits in with
    schema.org <http://schema.org>. Are there any efforts to integrate
    it there, or are there aspects of the ontology that don't make it
    a good candidate for inclusion?

If I understand correctly, schema.org basically uses more or less flat property lists, which can be extended. "Both kinds of extensions typically add subclasses and properties to the core. Properties may be added to existing and/or new classes. More generally, they are an overlay on top of the core, and so they may add domains/ranges, superclasses, etc. as well. Extensions have to be consistent with the core schema.org."

The fundamental difference to the CIDOC CRM methodology is that we require coverage of new properties by core superproperties, and that we radically harmonize sibling extensions not to develop parallel concepts. Without property subsumption, true information integration is not possible. The complexity of querying will either increase with each extension, or you simply loose relevant relations in your queries, because new properties have no generalization. The common superclass does not generalize the connectivity of the data, only the applicability of less and less common properties.

Without harmonizing extensions, common semantics between extensions stay uncorrelated. For instance, INSPIRE contains three different models of scientific observation, coming from different specialized disciplines, without being really different. Harmonization needs a considerable coordination effort.

Therefore, schema.org models can be mapped (easily) into a CRM world, but not CRM & extensions be put under schema.org.

All the best,

Martin


    Thanks,
