Conflicting statements of the records of one person

Where the records of one person, brought together on an entity page, state different years or places of birth or death. One quality annotation (dqv:QualityAnnotation, oa:Annotation, dcterms:type "conflict") per person and property: jl:onProperty names the property (jl:birthDate, jl:deathDate, jl:birthLocationURI, jl:deathLocationURI), oa:hasTarget the records that state a value, oa:bodyValue the values per record.

Years conflict when they are more than a year apart (a year apart comes from calendar conversions); dates the source marks as uncertain are left out. Places conflict when they are more than 25 km apart and both are settlements; a country or region against a place in it is no conflict. Compared are the facts the sources state; place links derived from the text of a place are not.

The annotations are about records, never about entity pages.
