As I'm working on my Archiving 2019 paper describing Long-Term Preservation of our data, I have come across some missing things. (Also, writing issues is a good way to procrastinate :-)

To be OAIS compliant, each Content Information Object in our case an instance of kb:Resource needs to have Representation Information attached, that allow full interpretation. I see as the Representation Information the different ontologies we have (system and project).

As an example, I think that StillImageFileValue is underspecified and that just by looking at the description in the ontology it is not clear, which property points to a file on disk. The description of knora-base:internalFilename, a property used in this capacity, doesn`t mention this.

I think the goal we need to pursue, is to make the documentation, to some extent redundant, and have a more verbose description in the ontology itself. This way, the ontologies alone can serve as Representation Information.
