Dear all,

Before the last SIG, together with CHIN, we proposed an issue on discussing
best practice in the application of named graphs by the CIDOC CRM
community. In order to empirically ground this conversation and build a
background understanding of the present state of the art, CHIN and myself
co-developed a survey which we shared to the list in order to get actual
practitioner feedback on the use of named graphs. The results of that
survey as well as preliminary conclusions regarding its content are listed
in the attached report. In the report you will find a link to the original
survey and the raw data resulting if of interest.

So the groundwork and homework is done to have a fruitful conversation on
this topic!We heartily look forward to discussing this issue at the
upcoming SIG and will make sure to invite all respondents to the survey to
attend the scheduled session. We look forward to the community based
discussion on this question and building best practices together.

Here is a link to the survey result report:

Sincerely,

George

P.S.: Sorry if this sends twice, the list bounced my email with a tiny
attachment, so I had to find a workaround. Hope this does the trick!
