Issue
A property to point to the source / original post is needed.
Use case
When a site is aggregating data from community sites and exposing the collected information over the web.
See http://www.boardtracker.com/.
In generic RDF aggregator we would just keep the source data as-is (using original URIs). But there are cases (as in BoardTracker) where:
- posts are mirrored by the aggregator (to provide additional services), giving them local / new URLs
- posts are displayed truncated (to make readers want to see the original site)
Then, if the aggregator exports data in SIOC, it needs a property that'll point to the original post.
Solution
What property can we use for this? Do we need a new property?
Options:
- use dc:source
- use sioc:has_sibling (but if it's abbreviated it's not really a sibling.)
