MIDS Mapping to ABCD

[DavidFichtmueller]

The MIDS draft v1.16 from 2022-05-28 already has some mappings to ABCD terms, but it only has them to ABCD 3 and the mappings are incomplete and in some cases wrong. So we looked into the mappings a bit more and created the table below for the mappings between MIDS and both ABCD 3 (concept URI) and ABCD 2 (both concept URI and XPath).
I hope this helps with the alignment of MIDS and ABCD. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Prefixes:

• abcd: = http://rs.tdwg.org/abcd/terms/
• abcd2: = http://rs.tdwg.org/abcd2/terms/

I have transferred the mappings from here into the SSSOM format, however since I could not edit this table , I created a copy of the file and added a new work sheet for the ABCD mapping. It is a first draft and there are still many things to be optimized, but it gives us a basis for discussion. One of the structural changes that I did was the addition of a column xpath (I am still not sure, which property to use to semantically describe it, maybe create one under the tdwgutils: group), as the xpath is the practical link between the URI of the concept to its content in the XML structure. But we can discuss this later, how to best integrate them.

Could the xpath be labeled as object_source?
