was :WorkLocation
The following explains the intent of splitting an Outline into chunks when outlining very large works. This is why there is a <o:location/> element spec'd in the outline.xsd; however, this feature has not been used in this manner but rather as a redundant marker of which work is being outlined. In the case that the Outline is the detail of a particular Text then the location typically will specify the Work and Volume (relative to 1) that contains the Outlined Text. Thus Locations on the sub-structure need only mention page, line and phrase
Parent facet of Work locations by page and folio. The XSD defn is located in common.xsd but is move to Work in the new ontology since that is a more appropriate location

Title appearing on the copyright page of a Work, if present.
use for the title on the copyright page when it differs from the bibliographical title.
The Copyright Page Title is found on the Cataloging in Publication (CIP) when present. The CIP is typically on the verso of the Title Page in Western publications and often at the end for Chinese pubications. The title should be entered in the language and script as it appears in the original publication - which for Chinese publications is typically zh-hans. The Library of COngress standard for the Title in the CIP is that it includes the title and any subtitle from the title page so for Western materials this data element is redundant with the full :WorkTitlePageTitle and can be ignored for cataloging. For Chinese materials, especially Tibetan publications, the CIP title is typically distinct from that which appears on the Title Page and hence this data can be helpful in distinguishing the Work from others.
In general include the use Copyright Page Title when it differs from the bibliographical title.

The :Etext :Entity represents a searchable Unicode text file ("eText"). In BUDA, eTexts are comprised of a base layer + at least one archival annotation layer, plus other annotation layers for different uses. The base layer is a raw Unicode text file. The base layer contains Unicode text and line breaks that form a coordinate system. The coordinate system includes a sequence number, position of start character and end character. The coordinate system is defined in the archival annotation layer.
The RDF representation of :Etext is derived from the base layer, a graph definining the coordinate system :EtextNonPaginated or :EtextPaginate, and a graph for the :ItemEtext that references the volume of the :ItemEtext.
There will also be information such as a URI to the original source file, if applicable. For Tibetan, these typically are Sambhota Word or Tibet Doc files.
The reference to the containing :ItemEtext is a URI formed by appending the volume index to the :ItemEtext URI, like:
:eTextInVolume bdr:I1KG443_003/volume/3
This URI refers to a volume blank node contained in the referenced Item.
Search chunks in the :Etext are derived from the original Unicode eText stream by breaking the stream at such locations to minimize the likelihood that the likely search terms will be broken across chunk boundaries. In Tibetan this is achieved by breaking the stream after the nearest shad codepoint following something like 300 tsegs. This assumes that most searches will not extend beyond a phrase boundary delimited by a shad (note there are actually a family of codepoints that count as shad in the Tibetan Unicode plane).
Each chunk is a blank node containing the chunk id - which is a virtual id serving only to order the sequence of contents to reassemble the original eText content, like:
[ a EtextChunk ;
:eTextChunk 3 ;
:chunkContents ". . . the text contained in chunk 3 . . ." ]
If the chunk is from an OCR'd text, then there is additional information indicating the starting chunk and character, and ending chunk and character for each page in the :ItemImageAsset from which the OCR'd material was derived. For example,
[ a EtextPage ; :slice 46 ;
:sliceStartChunk 43 ;
:sliceStartChar 17 ;
:sliceEndChunk 44 ;
:sliceEndChar 138 ]
The character counts are in terms of Unicode codepoints in whatever representation is used, typically, UTF-8.

An Item captures structural and administrative metadata associated with a digital or physical asset
:Item captures the structural and administrative metadata associated with a digital or physical asset.

An administrative organization is one that is not a subject of the domain of discourse. For example, the British Library's Endangered Archives Programme (EAP) is an administrative organization and the sde dge par khang can be considered an :Organization since it is an entity within the domain of Asian Buddhism.

A lineage holder is a Person that is considered to be an authoritative conveyer of a transmission lineage
A :LineageHolder describes a :Person or other :Entity (i.e., a deity or mythical being) that was/is considered to be the authoritative transmitter of a :Lineage.
Usually the holder received the :Lineage from some other entity but there is a "first" holder who counts as the original holder of the :Lineage.
A holder may create/author one or more Works concerning the Lineage and these are included with the holder as well as the, usually unique, prior holder of the lineage who transmitted it on to the current holder.
The :LineageReceived records the entity from whom the :Lineage was received, as well as the :Place where the :Lineage was transmitted to the current holder and the circa of the transmission if known.
For example,
bdr:Lwwww a :Lineage ;
:lineageHolder

A searchable etext volume versus a physical or digitized pzges images.
This serves as a blank node that represents an actual volume corresponding to a volume of a printed/pubished Work OR a virtual volume of all of the eTexts contained in a printed/published Work.
The ambiguity arises because in some cases we do not have know the actual volume or volume order of a collection of input eTexts that have been provided for preservation.
An example is the Guru Lama collection of Sakyapa eTexts. These were all input and used to prepare printed pechas that were distributed but when the files were supplied the correspondence of files to volumes and the order of the files in volumes was not provided. Therefor we have simply represented each Work as a single virtual volume with a collection of files in some order. Later it should be possible to analyze these particular Works to establish the volume and order within volume of the various eTexts by examining the titles and so on.
There is no distinction between OCR'd and input volumes.

Was ItemEtext, changed to align with Bibframe 2.0
:ItemEtext represent the :Etext items in the archive (i.e the actual digital files).
There are two subclasses of :ItemEtext. (1) :ItemEtextNonPaginated and (2) :ItemEtextPaginated. These are characterized by the presence or lack of pagination information maintained in the :ItemEtext. OCR is considered ItemEtextPaginated and manual input saved in RTF format considered :ItemEtextNonPaginated. These are distinguished because there are different stuctural characteristics in the :ItemEtext.
An :ItemEtext typically will represent an entire published Work. There won't be an Etext item for each :Volume within the Work. This is because we generally want to track the entire published Work as a single entity and will use the Work :partOf Work statements along with additional statements to link an individual Etext back to a Work part.

Similar to down from this property refers to a sequence of holders from another Lineage.
This models the "down to ..." references to other Lineages. The other Lineage from the beginning to the holder with the same who as this holder is implicitly included with this lineage. The known use case is for the initial holder to include the prior holders from another lineage as the initial without having members of this lineage without having to repeat them. It may be meaningful to use this feature deeper in a lineage but that is not defined at this time. It is meaningful to include multiple from references which is interpreted as implicitly creating an alternative lineage for each from element.

Links an (abstract) :Work and one of its instances
was :workExpressionOf
The subject Instance is an instance of the referenced :Work. This may mean that the subject instance is an edition or version or the only extant occurrence of the referenced :Work.
This modeling is relevant when there are more than one occurrence of a work that needs to be accounted for in the library. If there is a single edition of a unique work then this elaborate modeling is not needed; however, for many works in the domain of Buddhist Universal Digital Archive there are many expressions of a single identified "conceptual" work such as the Kanjur, Tengyur, Nyingma Gyu Bum, Rinchen Terdzod, Nyingma Kama, Songs of Milarepa, and on and on.

bdr:W30532 is a printing based on woodblocks that have a variety of "corrections" made via plugs in the original woodblocks and W22084 is a printing from the original sde dge Kanjur woodblocks so it makes sense to indicate that bdr:W30532 is a derivative of bdr:W22084.

Down from expresses a sequence of lineage holders by reference to another Lineage.
This models the "down from ..." references to other Lineages. The :Lineage object of :lineageDownFrom will contain the same :LineageHolder as here and the meaning of :lineageDownFrom is to "splice" the remaining holders on to the end of this lineage.
This models the directly the way in which the source gsan/thob yigs are written.
For example, here is the "tail" of bdr:L0RKL137:
bdr:L0RKL137 a :Lineage ;
:lineageType bdr:LineageDbang ;
:lineageObject bdr:T976 ;
. . .
:lineageHolder [ a :LineageHolder ;
:lineageWho bdr:P502 ;
:lineageReceived [ a :LineageReceived ;
:lineageFrom bdr:P1226 ]
]
:lineageHolder [ a :LineageHolder ;
:lineageWho bdr:P3094 ;
:lineageReceived [ a :LineageReceived ;
:lineageFrom bdr:P502 ]
:lineageDownFrom bdr:L0RKL134
]
Now in bdr:L0RKL134 there will be found a :LineageHolder with a :lineageWho of bdr:P3094 and all of the holders from then to the end of bdr:L0RKL134 are considered to be appended to bdr:L0RKL137:
bdr:L0RKL134 a :Lineage ;
:lineageType bdr:LineageDbang ;
:lineageObject bdr:T976 ;
. . .
:lineageHolder [ a :LineageHolder ;
:lineageWho bdr:P502 ;
:lineageReceived [ a :LineageReceived ;
:lineageFrom bdr:P3093 ]
]
:lineageHolder [ a :LineageHolder ;
:lineageWho bdr:P3094 ;
:lineageReceived [ a :LineageReceived ;
:lineageFrom bdr:P502 ]
]
:lineageHolder [ a :LineageHolder ;
:lineageWho bdr:P1132 ;
:lineageReceived [ a :LineageReceived ;
:lineageFrom bdr:P3094 ]
]
:lineageHolder [ a :LineageHolder ;
:lineageWho bdr:P1034 ;
:lineageReceived [ a :LineageReceived ;
:lineageFrom bdr:P1132 ]
]
. . .
This illustrates that while bdr:P3094 received the :Lineage from bdr:P502 in both cases, bdr:P502 received the lineage from bdr:P3093 in one case and from bdr:P1226 in the other. The two :Lineages are both of the same type and are transmitting the same object, bdr:T976, so this example illustrates the use of :lineageDownFrom to simplify the recording in a gsan yig or thob yig while highlighting some of the commonalities.

The number of monasteries per ecumen in this Place (presumably a region) from data provided by Karl Ryavec
2
Karl Ryavec supplies the following information regarding this property:
Gonpa per ecumen would be how many temples are there per one sq km of land area minus water, bare rock, ice and so forth. Thus I totaled the ecumen areas of each township primarily in terms of the sq km of grassland and forests and farmland. Then because these areas per temple are so tiny I represented the final amounts on my map legend per 1000 sq km so that the numbers would be closer to 1.0 at times. For example there might only be .0000001 temples per sq km of ecumen. But if we convert to per 1000 sq km of ecumen we get .0001 temples which is a more understandable amount. Though I think most scholars are baffled by technology and so just understand the idea of core areas like the Lhasa valley compared the peripheral areas like the Changthang. So that's mainly what I focused on showing.

2
The :restoredAlt property is used to add an alternative restoration of the original :PersonName or WorkTitle in the event that the name in the rdfs:label is a transliteration from another language (often Sanskrit).
For example in:
cbc:person_18 a :Person ;
:personName [
rdfs:label "阿地瞿多"@sa-Hant ;
:restored "Atikūṭa"@sa-x-iast ;
:restoredAtl "Atigupta"@sa-x-iast
] .
the rdfs:label is tagged as a Sanskrit transliteration in Tranditional Chinese, and the :restoredAlt is a reconstruction of the original Sanskrit encoded as IAST.
Such reconstructions are typically approximations to the original and there may be alternatives to the preferred form of the name or title in which case :restoredAlt literals may be recorded.

The number of digitized metadata pages added by TBRC (now BDRC). Originally this was 2 pages and more recently condensed to a single non-blank page however a second blank page 2 was included to simplify processing of volumes for display and so on. The intention being to capture some relevant metadata in along with the digitized images so that the volume is essentially standalone. Note that for historical reasons this can be greater than the total number of images if we don't have any image for the image group.

The :restored property is used to add a restoration of the original :PersonName or WorkTitle in the event that the name in the rdfs:label is a transliteration from another language (often Sanskrit) and the original language name or title is not manifest in the material being cataloged so that the cataloger prepares a restoration.
For example in:
cbc:person_18 a :Person ;
:personName [
rdfs:label "阿地瞿多"@sa-Hant ;
:restored "Atikūṭa"@sa-x-iast
] .
the rdfs:label is tagged as a Sanskrit transliteration in Tranditional Chinese, and the :restored is a reconstruction of the original Sanskrit encoded as IAST.
Such reconstructions are typically approximations to the original and there will often be a primary or preferred form of the name or title in which case the :restored property should be used.

Associates a Note containing: a comment, Work, and location in the Work.
the :note annotation adds language tagged string and optionally a reference to a Work and a simple text description of a location in a Work, e.g., "pp. 231-3".
In the XML db the notes are restricted to a limited set of items such as top-level resources and Outline Nodes, Place Events and so on. In this model there are no limitations on where notes can be attached. They can be attached directly to any owl:NamedIndividual or property. In particular one could add a note to the per:name property on an individual that provides evidence for the particular per:name assertion.
