 Activities, Datasets, Parties (pcdm:Collection)

Activities, Datasets, and Parties are Fedora 4 container nodes of pcdm:Collection type, mainly intended to enable grouping of the three main ResData resource types, i.e. Activity, Dataset and Party. Fedora 4 URI structures for these pcdm:Collection containers are listed below:

Dataset (VITRO-ANDS:ResearchData, pcdm:Object)

The ResearchData class from the ANDS VITRO ontology is used to define the Dataset resource type in ResData.  In the Fedora 4 model for ResData, all instances of the ResearchData class are also defined as nodes of pcdm:Object type with a number of data properties containing descriptive metadata, and object properties containing reference to other related ResData resources, such as Activity (vivo:ResearchActivity), Party (foaf:Person) and other Dataset resources. Figure 2 bellow illustrates the combined use of pcdm:Object and VITRO-ANDS:ResearchData classes to represent various ResData resource types.
