OpenAtlas

As discussed the Information carrier will be removed resp. replaced by Human made object in 7.x
Also "occurs during" P117 is replaced by a combination of new temporal relations: See http://www.cidoc-crm.org/sites/default/files/cidoc_crm_v.7.1.1_0.pdf on page 231
We used p117 for defining sub events.
Also all kind of appellations (e.g. Actor appellation, place name) will be unioned in only "Appellation" e41.
From what I see now, these are the only changes that affect us directly.

• Information carrier we already got rid of thanks to your farsightedness
• I like the joining of appellation. It needs adaption but will simplify the OpenAtlas code
• The P117 replacement looks like some work and we should discuss this in detail

I made good progress with the transformation scripts.
Only issue I encountered so far is the removal of P117 (occurs_during) which we used to link events with sub events.
Assigning back to you, Stefan, and will continue working on it once this is solved.

In Version 7.x P117 is removed. The docs recommend replacing it with a combination of "P176i starts after the start of" AND "P185 ends
before the end of"

Not sure what to make of this. So far it looks like we have the options to:

• Replace existing links with a combination of two links. Not sure if we want to go this way it would be:
  • Cumbersome and costly to implement and maintain
  • Error prone
  • The (than much needed) integrity checks and how to handle found errors would be very complex
• Removing this feature. But this sounds kind of "rude"

• 1,156 MEDCON (but isn't active anymore)
• 627 CONNEC (but they will be removed, at least mostly)
• 540 DPP
• 540 THANADOS (presumably copies from DPP)
• 54 MAMEMS/Constantinople
• 23 MoByz
• 1 PLAS
• None: INDIGO, SHAHI, origins

We could keep P117 and define it as a shortcut similar to our OA Shortcuts in order to preserve the information. To resolve "OA117" (or however we want to call it) the recommendation of the CIDOC CRM would be used: combination of "P176i starts after the start of" AND "P185 ends before the end of"

Good idea! I added it to today's meeting agenda.
