Mapping
When creating an RDF description, the following mapping is applied
| $a,$3 | rdaGr2:placeOfBirth | if the record describes a person |
| $a,$3 | rdaGr2:placeOfDeath | if the record describes a person |
| $a,$3 | rdaGr2:placeOfResidence | if the record describes a person |
- rdaGr2 represents the namespace “http://rdvocab.info/ElementsGr2/”
- Whenever a link to a place name record is available, the RDF triple will point to it as a resource.
- The RDA ontologies are registerd with the open metadata registry (http://metadataregistry.org/schemaprop/show/id/1141.html)
