Guidance on startDate for Dead_people_place

[rwarren2]

You can always assign any of the XML Date for any of the #Dead_people_place, #Container_for_human_remains, #Remains and #Monument classes. While prov stipulates xsd:dateTime, you can still use xsd:gYear:

<graves:Cemetery rdf:about="#toowong">
 <prov:startedAtTime rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#gYear">1861</prov:startedAtTime>
<graves:Cemetery>

I'm arguing here that the cemetery really began, as a thing, when the land was allocated for it. But the Cemetery Trust established in October 1870 is a separate legal entity that Fibo Trust can deal with, the first burial on 3 January 1871 is the first grave and the official opening on 5 July 1875 is really an event?

All of these can be related temporally with time:before and time:after.

References move to Time/Prov Ontology #1.

@rwarren2 Would you like me to convert this issue to a discussion to keep the issue list tidy?

[rwarren2]

Please. I'm about to open up a number of other issues and push changes.
