NYTimes template

The template context http://azigo.com/sys/templates/nytimes.com contains (among other things) the following mapping rules:

 :NYTimesPerson
     a       owl:Class ;
     rdfs:subClassOf <http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/ontologies/2010/6/higgins#Person> ;
     map:nameRule
             [ a       map:roleSameAs ;
               map:equivalentAttribute
                       fp:givenName ;
               map:predicate :bFirstName ;
               map:role <http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/ontologies/2010/6/persona#Buyer>
             ] ;
     map:telephoneRule
             [ a       map:roleSameAs ;
               map:equivalentAttribute
                       fp:phone ;
               map:predicate :phone ;
               map:role <http://www.eclipse.org/higgins/ontologies/2010/6/persona#Ecommerce>
             ] .

getAttributes() flow

• Derive the name of the "connection" context (result: http://azigo.com/ptrevithick/staples.com)
• Compute rolesAtts[] (result: ((
• We would now try to read attributes from the branch of person nodes rooted at its #me person
• However, since this doesn't exist we try to read attributes (i.e. findAttributeValues()) from the root #me node (and on down)
