Tag	Data Model Upgrade V4
definition	Changes to the data model in both the ontology and thesaurus are considered for this V4 release. The ontology and the thesaurus have similar hierarchies that support both common and different purposes. One of these purposes is using the ontology to promote concepts from the thesaurus about an artwork to semantically-specific properties directly on the artwork instance data. This is a major driver for the data model changes in this release.
