Linked open data: SKOS ontology
All data should be available.
AAT - Cut down amount of data to a more useful profile. Re-express information in CIDOC CRM? rather than SKOS. Museums use CRM. Want to have CRM and simplified SKOS.
ULAN, TGN - Move to same ontology.
Person is a person instead of a representation of a person. This avoids confusion and mistaken use of a concept of a person as a person.
Suggests sticking to a concept of a person as opposed to the real person.
Data across ontologies becomes more difficult. Validations become a challenge. Request data from a specific ontology and only get the data in the ontology as opposed to mixing them.
ISNI
ISNI is the ISO certified global standard number for identifying the millions of contributors to creative works and those active in their distribution. The mission of the ISNI International Agency (ISNI-IA) is to assign to the public name(s) a persistent unique identifying number in order to resolve the problem of name ambiguity in search and discovery; and diffuse each assigned ISNI across all repertoires in the global supply chain so that every published work can be unambiguously attributed to its creator wherever that work is described. By achieving these goals, the ISNI will act as a bridge identifier across multiple domains and become a critical component in Linked Data and Semantic Web applications.
