tei:relation in persons and places

[dlschwartz]

We have numerous open issues dealing with a range of things that fall into the category of how we should use the tei:relation element in persons and places.

First, the current situation for places:

• Disambiguation
  • Places data model allows <note type="disambiguation"> to offer a prose description of two places that might be confused for one another but should be distinguished. See wiki.
  • Places data model also allows <relation name="share-a-name"> when two distinct places share a name but aren't the same place. See wiki.
• Places data model also allows <relation name="see-also">

The current situation for persons [attr value formats below are regularized for simplicity]:

• So far, tei:relation has mostly been used for disambiguation and connecting persons with places.
  • Relation to place: <relation @ref="has-relation-to-place | has-literary-relation-to-place">
  • Disambiguation: <relation @ref="different-from | possibly-identical">
• Two records are also related using "skos:broadMatch" and "syriaca:sharesAttributionWith"
  • 601 and 3501.

Update data to the following [substituting "#" with "http://syriaca.org/keyword/"]

• Disambiguation. (See also, Place disambiguation #1052)
  • <note type="disambiguation"> --> <relation @ref="different-from"> [also allow value <relation @ref="possibly-identical">]
    • These new values will be available on persons and places.
  • <relation name="share-a-name"> --> <relation ref="share-a-name">
    • Used on places but not persons?
• <relation name="see-also"> --> <relation ref="see-also">
  • Used only on places or should we allow this on persons too? I lean toward only places.

Additional schema development:

• Allow all taxonomy personal relationships as values on @ref? -OR- Instead allow only a subset of these relationships, i.e. just family relationships?
• Allow all taxonomy qualifier relationships as values on @ana
