## Items in RDF

[documents in RDF]: #documents-in-rdf

Lists of documents, as returned by the PAIA core methods [items], [request],
[renew], and [cancel], are represented as sets of document service events.

[renew], and [cancel], are represented as sets of events. Each event is an
instance of **[ssso:ServiceEvent]** from the [Simple Service Status Ontology]
(SSSO) and an instance of of a specific document service class defined in the
[Document Service Ontology] (DSO).

The current [service status](#data-types) of a document service event is given
by an instance-relationship (rdf:type) with one of the following classes:

* [ssso:ReservedService](http://purl.org/ontology/ssso#ReservedService)
for service status 1 (reserved)
* [ssso:PreparedService](http://purl.org/ontology/ssso#PreparedService)
for service status 2 (ordered)
* [ssso:ExecutedService](http://purl.org/ontology/ssso#ExecutedService)
for service status 3 (held)
* [ssso:ProvidedService](http://purl.org/ontology/ssso#ProvidedService)
for service status 4 (provided)
* [ssso:RejectedService](http://purl.org/ontology/ssso#RejectedService)
for service status 5 (rejected)

The specific type of service is further given by in instance-relationship with on
of the following classes (*this needs some clarification!*):

* [dso:Loan] (borrow to use at home for a limited time)
* [dso:Presentation] (view/use within the boundaries of a library)
* [dso:Interloan] (get a document/copy mediated from another library)
* [dso:OpenAccess] (get directed to the location of a publicly available document)

The final mapping to RDF will probably include the following core concepts:

Document
: An abstract work, a specific edition, or an item. Probably an instance of
`bibo:Document` or `frbr:Item`.
Document service
: An instance of a library service connected to a patron and a document.
Document services are returned by the PAIA core method [items](). This
entity is an instance of `daia:Service` and `ssso:Service`.
Service status
: The current state of a (document) service is defined as an instance of a subclass
of `ssso:ServiceEvent` from the [Simple Service Status Ontology] (SSSO), which are:

* [ssso:ReservedService](http://purl.org/ontology/ssso#ReservedService):
document service status 1 (reserved)
* [ssso:PreparedService](http://purl.org/ontology/ssso#PreparedService):
document service status 2 (ordered)
* [ssso:ExecutedService](http://purl.org/ontology/ssso#ExecutedService):
document service status 3 (held)
* [ssso:ProvidedService](http://purl.org/ontology/ssso#ProvidedService):
document service status 4 (provided)
* [ssso:RejectedService](http://purl.org/ontology/ssso#RejectedService):
document service status 4 (rejected)

The specific type of service on an item can be indicated by a subclass of
`dso:DocumentService` from the [Document Service Ontology] (DSO) or by
classes from a yet-to-be-created *library service ontology* (libso).
By now the particular service types are:

* [dso:Loan] (borrow to use at home for a limited time)
* [dso:Presentation] (view/use within the boundaries of a library)
* [dso:Interloan] (get a document/copy mediated from another library)
* [dso:OpenAccess] (get directed to the location of a publicly available document)
The service event is connected to a patron as [service:ServiceConsumer]
(with property [service:consumedBy]) and to a document
(*with a property yet to be defined*).
