Attempts to describe the artist Rita Angus as an EDM Agent contextual entity.

dnz_agent_edm.md

JSON-LD EDM experiments

This gist contains two attempts to describe the artist Rita Angus as an EDM Agent contextual entity using the JSON-LD format. They are intended to facilitate conversation between DigitalNZ and Europeana rather than indicate a final data format.

• rita_angus_v1.json is close to the examples expressed in the "JSON-LD profile for EDM contextual entities" proposal document.
• rita_angus_v2a.json deviates significantly from the v1 context mapping structure. The document's fieldnames are terms like name and description, which differ from the EDM Agent schema skos:prefLabel and rdaGr2:biographicalInformation fields.
• rita_angus_v2b.json references the @context section rather then presenting it inline. This is the default format that we are likely to adopt.

The rita_angus_v2 examples follows the model presented by Manu Spooney in the JSON-LD W3.org context specs. See: EXAMPLE 5: In-line context definition.

With the exception of "@container": "@language" / @en language specifications missing from rita_angus_v2.json the examples resolve to the same Expanded, Compacted, Flattened, Framed, N-Quads and Normalized structures on the JSON-LD Playground:

• rita_angus_v1.json in JSON-LD Playground
• rita_angus_v2.json in JSON-LD Playground
