Hi all,

Here's a modelling question.

Suppose I advertise a vacancy (or publish a webpage, or write a book),
and that thing is in some way linked to me (contact person, author).
Suppose further that I want to go by another name (e.g. I'm Iain [M]
Banks), or don't want people to contact me by phone.

I can quite easily create a foaf:Person, exposing just the details that
are pertinent in the context in which it will appear. However, there's
no way to link it to me.

What I'd like is:

:vacancy oo:contact :persona .

:persona a persona:Persona ;
   foaf:name "Mr Dutton" ;
   v:email <mailto:[email protected]> ;
   persona:personaOf :alex .

:alex a foaf:Person ;
   foaf:name "Alexander Dutton" ;
   foaf:mbox <mailto:[email protected]> .

Even better if I can use it to present two talks at a conference wearing
two different hats:

:talk-one a ex:Talk ;
   rdfs:label "Science!" ;
   ex:givenBy :alexQuaEmployedByAperture .

:alexQuaEmployedByAperture a persona:Persona ;
   foaf:name "Alexander Dutton" ;
   persona:personaOf :alex ;
   persona:qua [
     a org:Membership ;
     org:member :alex ;
     org:organization :aperture ;
     org:role [
       a skos:Concept ;
       skos:prefLabel "eccentric scientist"
     ]
   ] .

etc.

Does this exist? Has anyone done it differently/better? Should I just
get on and make it?

Yours questioningly,

Alex





I suggest you just crack on with your modelling. Once done, publish it. Ultimately, it can be cross referenced with other related ontologies, as you or others discover them.

What you shouldn't do is procrastinate on the basis of an existing ontology :-)

Happy New Year to everyone !
