I want to pick this discussion back up. I'm mapping/analyzing BIBFRAME 2.0 with the VRA ontology. Just curious why it was decided to create specific Agent "role-like" properties (printer, painter,...

Right. But having specific role properties may inhibit interoperability with other ontologies.

I'm trying to map BIBFRAME and VRA ontologies. bf:role expects a literal, while VRA has defined roles as individual properties vra:painter, vra:programmer etc. How would you map those BF literal...

Also there isn't a general "artist" property. That's something we really need for our Art Properties data if we were to use something like VRA.

@rguenther52 thanks for the BF paper on roles. I forgot those about those specification papers :-) @escowles I doing more of an ontology comparison between BF and other Art related...
