Issue #24 – should we use Boolean for the preference or just a controlled vocabulary?

[stephenhart8]

Some instances, like appellations, have a E55_Type to specify if an appellation is the one preferred by the institution or not. This type is therefore binary, either yes, it is a preferred appellation, or no, it is a non-preferred appellation.

There is two way to tackle this:

1. to use a Boolean variable (like yes or no);
2. to use controlled vocabulary (AAT or other).

What should we use? Could we use both?

[Habennin]

Use aat type. The Yes No means nothing in linked data

I will close this issue unless someone wants to add something.

I agree with @Habennin, It's always a better idea to use URIs to foster interoperability. Also, we don't know the future and we might need a third option in certain cases.

+1 for controlled vocabularies

[stephenhart8]

In accordance with everyone, we will use Controlled Vocabularies, instead of booleans.
