Occupations
The occupations of JudaicaLink as concepts. All statements about occupations are in this dataset; the other datasets only link to them.
GND occupations. The GND names the occupations of persons with its subject headings. The dataset gnd links its
records to them (jl:occupationURI); this dataset describes them, with the broader headings up to the top: German
preferred and variant names (skos:prefLabel, skos:altLabel), the broader terms (skos:broader) and the GND subject
categories. The headings keep the GND’s IRIs.
Older occupation IRIs. The datasets of 2018 made occupation IRIs from names, e.g.
http://data.judaicalink.org/data/occupation/Rabbiner (the GND’s German names, gnd-persons) and
http://data.judaicalink.org/data/occupation/musician (English DBpedia categories, dbpedia-persons). records-normalized,
bhr, sosy and dbpedia still state them. Each gets its name with its language and a link to its GND heading
(skos:exactMatch): German names by the heading of that name, or of that variant name; English names by a table
chosen by hand. Mohel and Rebbetzin have no GND heading.
