Upgrade StorageJournal's URN:ISSN applied to specific volume/issue in Zotero RDF
I noticed that when I export a collection to Zotero RDF, journal articles get a reference to the journal's ISSN-as-URN:
The above description of a journal mixes assertions about the journal and the issue by assigning a volume number, issue number and DOI to the whole journal.
The ontology at http://vocab.org/biblio/schema doesn't have a class for "issue" and I haven't studied other vocabularies very well to see how they might handle this.
May I propose to alter the first dcterms:isPartOf reference to a URI that identifies the issue? This new URI should probably be outside the URN space.
A description of the issue can then have a reference dcterms:isPartOf rdf:resource="urn:issn:xxxx-xxxx" and a description of the journal like this:

<dcterms:isPartOf rdf:resource="urn:issn:1936-1955" />This says an article is part of a journal, which seems semantically correct to me, but the journal identified by the ISSN is described as an issue:
<bib:Journal rdf:about="urn:issn:1936-1955">This appears semantically incorrect. An article is part of an issue, that is part of a journal. (Well, it may be part of multiple issues of multiple journals, depending on how you define article, but that's beside the point I'm trying to make.)
<dc:title>J. Data and Information Quality</dc:title>
<prism:volume>2</prism:volume>
<prism:number>2</prism:number>
<dc:identifier>DOI 10.1145/1891879.1891883</dc:identifier>
<dc:identifier>ISSN 1936-1955</dc:identifier>
</bib:Journal>

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
I'll remember to not use Zotero RDF then.
