Introduction

LIDO is an XML schema intended for delivering metadata, for use in a variety of online services, from an organization’s collections database to portals of aggregated resources, as well as exposing, sharing and connecting data on the web. Its strength lies in its ability to support the typical range of descriptive information about objects of material culture. It can be used for all kinds of object, e.g., art, cultural, technology and natural science and supports multilingual portal environments.

The LIDO schema is the result of a substantial redesign and enhancement of the CDWA Lite and museumdat schemas based on recommendations of the CDWA Lite/museumdat Working Group, community feedback and further CIDOC-CRM analysis. It mainly builds on CDWA and includes additional concepts to meet SPECTRUM requirements.

For more information on LIDO please refer to: www.lido-schema.org

Prepared for CIDOC LIDO Working Group by LIDO-DE Working Group.

The schema is developed at gitlab.gwdg.de/lido/development. LIDO v1.1 is backwards compatible with LIDO v1.0. For a summary of changes please refer to the repository’s README. The full history of LIDO can be found in lido-v1.0-specification.pdf, 2.3 History of the schema.

    Rule ID

    sch_MixedContent

    Description

    In LIDO v1.1 some text elements are extended to conceptComplexType in order to foster controlled indexing in the future. To enable backwards compatibility either elements of textComplexType or elements of conceptComplexType are allowed. Note that the elements are defined to be mutually exclusive.

    Rule

    (skos:Concept or lido:conceptID or lido:term) and not(text()[not(normalize-space(.) = '')] or @xml:lang or @lido:encodinganalog or @lido:label) or (text()[normalize-space(.) != ''] and not(skos:Concept or lido:conceptID or lido:term)) or (not(*) and (not(text()) or normalize-space(.) = ''))

    Description

    In LIDO v1.1 a type attribute is introduced for the LIDO rightsType element in order to discern generic rights and specific ones. This rule asserts that only the URIs for these two types of rights are used when the type attribte is set.

    Rule

    (@lido:type = 'http://terminology.lido-schema.org/lido00920' or @lido:type = 'http://terminology.lido-schema.org/lido00921') or not(@lido:type)

    Rule ID

    sch_rightsType

    Description

    A LIDO rightsType element can either hold the type attribute 'generic' or 'specific', respectively. Since a generic rights type and a specific rights or license statement fall into different logical categories, these types are mutually exclucive.
