Person, Organization and Group data

Overview

Although person and organization data is not a focus of the portal, it is important to note a few things in relation to its implementation of linked.art's people patterns:

  • We do not distinguish at the class level between People and Organizations, expressing them both as instances of the Actor class.
  • Names are expressed as the label of the Actor node and as the preferred Name in the identified_by block.
  • People and organizations are reconciled via a table created using a SPARQL query that generates lookups across the ISNI, ULAN, and LCNAF vocabularies. The table is then fed back into the data pipeline and an internal query uses skos:exactMatch predicates to unify all actor productions and roles under a single person / organization.
