#SOURCESET / #TARGETSET beacon header lines

[jneubert]

I have recognized, that in v 0.0.9 the result header of a check command may include lines such as:

#DESCRIPTION: Mapping from GND IDs to RePEc Short-IDs
#PREFIX: http://d-nb.info/gnd/
#TARGET: https://authors.repec.org/pro/
#SOURCESET: http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q36578
#TARGETSET: http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q206316

I am not sure if that's a good idea, because these may not be clearly defined.

Targetset http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q206316 designates "Research Papers in Economics" as a bibliographic database, whereas P2428 has humans as intended range (here authors identified in Repec's Author Service) . Furthermore, http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q206316 lists as "Wikidata property" (http://www.wikidata.org/entity/P1687) "Research Papers in Economics Series handle" (http://www.wikidata.org/entity/P2761).

P1687 and P1629 are intended to be inverse properties, but obviously that is not enforced. The data may be messy here, and more opportunities to mess it up lurk just arround the corner (Repec institutions EDIRC, e.g.).

On source and target side, only an explicit (RAS) or implicit subset (former PND part of GND) may consitute the set addressed in the mapping. If there is no explicit requirement to return the sets in the beacon header, it perhaps perhaps would be better to drop it, instead of giving missleading hints.

v0.0.13 also includes sourceproperty and targetproperty - do these help for clarification? Am 19. April 2017 15:38:39 MESZ schrieb Joachim Neubert <notifications@github.com>:

That helps indeed! In my eyes, it would be sufficient for documentation, because it's easy to look up more information from the properties' pages (and cope with ambiguity, if any, there).
