Change management documents produced by authoritative providers

Library of Congress

LOC implements Activity Stream and has types.

  • URI belongs to a scheme when active (e.g. subject scheme).  This is identified by a triple.  The scheme triple is removed when it is deprecated.
  • Sometimes a term may move from one authority (e.g. subject) to another (e.g. genre).  Adds a triple identifying the new term (e.g. use_instead predicate).  Complicated when the change is a split.  Which term's URI should be used for use_instead?

Activity Stream is under development and is likely going to be a change management feed using JSON-LD.  Currently, LOC is using an Atom Feed to provide some basic change management info.
