Modification

  • full first and last name

Result

The author representation is more uniform.

The other institutes seem to have "www" included. Maybe also here?

ror lists this url as the correct one ;) also copying the link from the browser results in this short version. (I had to double check, because it looks so unusual)

Design philosophy

In the original version of the ontology, everything is a class and all classes are techniques. Object property relations

Is it clear and relevant to talk about the "original version"?

In this commit, I want to focus on the authors only.
Updating the description text is a more complex topic and is covered in a dedicated issue #400. I will transfer your comments to the working document there. Please feel free to improve the text there

Comment thread source/PaNET_metadata.ttl
In the original version of the ontology, everything is a class and all classes are techniques. Object property relations
are implied but not formalized in this version. Subclass/superclass relationships and intersections are
used to define specific technique classes in terms of broader superclasses. This is seen as a key
requirement in order to carry out catalogue searcher for broader concepts, for example.

searcher -> searches, I assume?

Comment thread source/PaNET_metadata.ttl

The ontology has since been restrucred to include both technique classes and specifier classes. The relationships between the two are also made explicit and formalized in the form of Object Properties. The specifier classes were created by identifying technique classes that act as umbrella terms. These techniques are defined using object properties and specifiers. The rest are defined in terms of other techniques using a mix of subclass and equivalence axioms.

Yes, as it is a specific term within ontologies. Personally, I wouldn't mint to use small letters.
