Handling pbcoreCreator, creator, and creatorRole

Example: creator name is a literal.

NOTE: All PBCore input is using PBCore 2.0 XML unless otherwise specified.
NOTE: All RDF output is in Turtle format unless otherwise specified.

PBCore input:

<pbcoreDescriptionDocument>
  <pbcorecreator>
    <creator>Alice</creator>
  </pbcorecreator>
</pbcoreDescriptionDocument>

RDF output

@prefix ebucore: <http://www.ebu.ch/metadata/ontologies/ebucore/ebucore#> .
@prefix my: <http://example.org/my-namespace#> .

[] <about> my:00001 ;
  ebucore:hasCreator "Alice" .

Example: creator name is a literal, creator affiliation is a literal, creator role is a literal.

PBCore input:

<pbcoreDescriptionDocument>
  <pbcorecreator>
    <creator affiliation="XYZ Productions">Alice</creator>
    <creatorRole>Director</creatorRole>
  </pbcorecreator>
</pbcoreDescriptionDocument>

RDF output:

@prefix ebucore: <http://www.ebu.ch/metadata/ontologies/ebucore/ebucore#> .
@prefix my: <http://example.org/my-namespace#> .

[] <about> my:00001 ;
  ebucore:hasCreator my:00002 .

my:00002 a ebucore:Agent ;
  ebucore:agentName "Alice" ;
  ebucore:hasRole "Director" ;
  ebucore:hasAffiliation "XYZ Productions" .

TODO: Not sure if range of ebucore:hasAffiliation can be a literal; ask Jean-Pierre Evain.

Example: creator with a URI

PBCore input:

<pbcoreDescriptionDocument>
  <pbcorecreator>
     <creator ref="http://external.org/Alice" />
  </pbcorecreator>
</pbcoreDescriptionDocument>

RDF output:

@prefix ebucore: <http://www.ebu.ch/metadata/ontologies/ebucore/ebucore#> .
@prefix my: <http://example.org/my-namespace#> .
@prefix external: <http://external.org/> .

[] <about> my:00001 ;
  ebucore:hasCreator external:Alice .

Example: creator is a URI, and creator name is a literal

PBCore input:

<pbcoreDescriptionDocument>
  <pbcorecreator>
     <creator ref="http://external.org/Alice">Alice</creator>
  </pbcorecreator>
</pbcoreDescriptionDocument>

RDF output:

@prefix ebucore: <http://www.ebu.ch/metadata/ontologies/ebucore/ebucore#> .
@prefix my: <http://example.org/my-namespace#> .
@prefix external: <http://external.org/> .
@prefix dc-terms: <http://purl.org/dc/terms/> .

[] <about> my:00001 ;
  ebucore:hasCreator my:00002 .

my:00002 a ebucore:Agent ;
  ebucore:agentName "Alice" ;
  dc-terms:references external:Alice .

TODO: Is this the right namespace for DublinCore terms?
TODO: Is this an appropriate use for dc-terms:referenes? If not, what is an appropriate way to establish the relationship between our ebucore:Agent and an external URI?

Example: creator name is a literal, creator role is a literal and has a URI reference.

PBCore input:

<pbcoreDescriptionDocument>
  <pbcorecreator>
     <creator>Alice</creator>
     <creatorRole ref="http://pbcore.org/vocabularies/creatorRole#director">Director<creatorRole/>
  </pbcorecreator>
</pbcoreDescriptionDocument>

RDF output:

@prefix ebucore: <http://www.ebu.ch/metadata/ontologies/ebucore/ebucore#> .
@prefix my: <http://example.org/my-namespace#> .

[] <about> my:00001 ;
  ebucore:hasCreator my:00002 .

my:00002 a ebucore:Agent ;
  ebucore:agentName "Alice" ;
  ebucore:hasRole <http://pbcore.org/vocabularies/creatorRole#director>, "Director" .
