question (template): how should multiple "Source Vocab URIs" be entered ?

[markdoerr]

Sometimes definitions might origin from several sources (maybe two or three).
How should these multiple sources be entered in the "Source Vocab URI" of the Concepts tab ?
Is it possible to enter multiple URIs ?

[dalito]

Currently it supports just a single URL. This is "inherited" from the vocpub-profile.

Your question goes a bit into the direction of provenance which is not modeled in detail in the vocpub profile. There is another provenance issue #122

Improving provenance information would be worth to address in a template structure upgrade.

[markdoerr]

I agree, @dalito ,
improving provenance information would make the vocabulary assembly more transparent, but it might requires quite some development time.
How much effort would it be to just allow a whitespace separated list of URIs in the "Source Vocab" column ? (as a quick fix)

This would be technically easy since the same is done already for childrenIRIs. However, "Source Vocab" is converted to RDFS:isDefinedBy. Therefore, it should be a single value (or no value). "Source Vocab" should be used if term & definition are verbatim copies. What is missing is a multivalue field for referring loosely to multiple sources that are expressed in RDF as prov:wasInfluencedBy. This will be addressed as part of #124.
