Validation Schema (dc + foreign keys + namespaces + sensekeys) about schemas

[arademaker]

Can you summarize here the differences between 1.1, 2.0 and 1.10? Can you also explain the reason for keeping all versions in the repo instead of only one? The change from DTD to XSD seems resonable, but the abstract model is the most important point.

It's documented here

Now that I'm looking a bit more closely at these attributes, I'm mostly in agreement with Bernard's points here. The DC metadata don't follow the actual Dublin Core schema, so using the dc: namespace seems a little problematic. Furthermore, only 3 of these attributes are actually used in EWN 2020:

• dc:identifier 211,863 times: all on <Sense> elements indicating the sense key
• dc:source 2,518 times: 274 on <Example>, all pointing to https://en.wikipedia.org; and 2,244 on <Synset>, mostly pointing to plWordNet 4.0 and a few hundred to Colloquial WordNet
• dc:subject 120,053 times: all on <Synset>, as described by Bernard above

I think only dc:source is used in a general metadata way. The others have a specific WordNet-internal interpretation and would probably be better with their own dedicated attribute (as was done for language; see #22).

I don't have a strong opinion about the namespaces for these attributes, nor about the less redundant SyntacticBehaviour.

I agree that we should probably try to have fixed names for attributes that we will use with specific WordNet-internal interpretations.

Rather than discussing four issues here, I am closing this issue. Please discuss under:

#8 - Syntactic Behaviour
#24 - Dublin Core
#25 - Sense Keys
#26 - Lexicographer files
