People and life events

From NeoWiki Demo

A demo dataset that models people and their births as separate Subjects, in the event-centric style of CIDOC CRM (the cultural-heritage reference model that Arches is built on). It uses three generations of the Bach family, scoped deliberately rather than exhaustively. The data is curated for demonstration and is not authoritative.

Each birth is its own Subject linking a child, mother, father, place, and date. Johann Sebastian Bach appears in four births, once as a child and three times as a father, which a person-centric model could not express cleanly.

Mapping to CIDOC CRM

This dataset partially maps to CIDOC CRM, via Mapping:CIDOC-CRM. The canonical statements run from the event to the person (E67 Birth, P98 brought into life, E21 Person); the reverse "was born" (P98i) is not stored as a separate edge but derived by Module:NeoWikiDemo reverse-querying the graph, which is how CIDOC inverse properties work.

A person who carries the flat Birth date and Birth place fields instead of a Birth Subject still gets a birth event in the projection: the Mapping synthesizes the E67 Birth and the E52 Time-Span the CIDOC path runs through.
